OK, folks, the 3.5" graft went fine (I can format, boot, whatever you want
just fine), and now I have another question/problem:

How can I modify my Qumetrack 142 floppy so that the motor obeys the PC/AT
conventions (i.e DS 2 = motor on for drive 0, DS 3 = motor for drive 1)?  My
controller appears to be doing this ok, but the damn floppy spins every time
I access either drive.  I don't like the thought of dragging the head along
when I'm not even using the drive (more often than not probably on the same
track, too!).  I don't have any dox and before I do radical surgery on the
drive it'd be nice to have some clue as to what direction I should be going.

Thanx in advance for this one and thanx to all who helped me out earlier.
