Also, when using the Q2080 drive, remember that is it '7' heads, not 8, and 
that the head register on the older 8 meg controllers is only 10 bits.  This
means that you tell diskutil that the Q2080 has 1024 cylinders.  You'll
end up with about 63 meg of storage.  

Kludge on the write protect?  If anytime someone adds a wire is a kludge, then
I guess so.  The Q2080 drive has a staking pin you can use with a pushon
for the write protect function if you want.  I haven't bothered to get the 
'active' light working on my Q2080 with my old 16.  (I got 1 Q2080 
installed with the old 8 meg just sitting here that I may eventually get
around to hooking up as a secondary.  I'm also running 1 meg of RAM with 
ECC on the older (second pass) 68000 upgraded to run sys 3.)
