5,25 floppies with 80 tracks (SSor DS) are working properly.

But some caution should be done before connecting them.

1. Drive select should be buffered with a 7407.

   otherwise older drives can overload the sound chip.

2. Remove any pull up R's in the floppy

3. Open floppy 1 and connect your extension cable to the Shugard bus.

***Don't forget the drive select. (from OUT)
