I just installed my second internal 3.5" floppy in my 2000, and it's nice
to have a full complement of drives: 2 floppy, 1 hard. Now if I could
only afford a twin 20 MEG Bernuoulli Box (and a controller that would run
it... I assume my 2090 won't).

It's QUIET!!! My 1000 drives were very noisy (gronk!), so it was nice to
have the quiet murmuring of the first internal drive on the 2000. But the
new one is so quiet, I have to look at the light to be sure it's working.
It's a Prodrive (actually NEC), and now that I have it I can see why it
took over a month to get to the top of the backorder list.

QUESTION: If I want to switch the drives DF0/DF1, what do I need to do?
Switching the cable alone didn't work (no drive activity at all). So, I
assume that I need to change the jumpers. However, the jumpers look
different, and are in different places, on the two drives. Is there some
general principle that I can apply here, or the jumper method quite
specific to each of the two drives?
