A friend recently replaced his internal 1/2 meg drive with a 1 meg drive.
He threw out the old one, so I thought I'd use it as a second drive
on my STM (no internal drive).  I made up a lead, but as soon as I 
connected the new drive, BOTH of my drives started acting as single
sided.  Anyone understand this?  It must be possible to have one of
each, since lots of people have 1/2 meg internal drives and 1 meg
externals on their STFMs.  

Then again, we had to throw out a board full of electronics from his
machine when we upgraded.  Is this something to do with it?  Could I
use this?  Will it allow me to have the 1/2 meg as B: (I certainly
don't want one as A:!).

Alternatively, anyone got a cheap 1 meg drive for sale near London,
England?  Do PC drives fit?

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Roger Ford
