Please post the circuit, Dave. I have a bizarre 3.5" EPSON drive connected to
my Amiga which acts like an 80 track 5.25" drive. It sometimes turns
it's motor on for just a moment without reason and I suspect it's the
Amiga polling the drives that confuses it. I had always wondered how you guys
used one line (disk change) to sense multiple drives without a single
ejected disk locking out the whole set.

PS: if the circuit it too large or difficult to post, just post a reference
to the appropriate page of the hardware spec's and the address to order them
from (yet again...).
