I was attempting to put a 360K drive [a Teac] from my Sanyo 555 pseudo-PC-clone
into my new AT-clone.  The closest I got to getting the AT to recognize it
was that it would select correctly as drive B:, but any attempts to read
from the disk gave "not ready error reading drive b".  I could "cd b:" [or
just b:] and get b shown as my current drive, but anything simple like
'dir' would give the above error.  That was only after changing the drive
select jumpers on the drive itself (and running 'setup' of course).

The controller is a Western Digital, with provision for two floppies and
two HD's.

The only thing the manual for the AT says about adding a 360K drive is
essentially "plug it in".  Does anyone know if the Teac's used by the Sanyo
are in some way unusable for AT's?  Or how I should configure the drives?

I tried changing a number of the jumpers, on both the 360 and the 1.2Mb,
all to no avail.  [Many worse results, but no successes.]

Any suggestions welcome...
