When I got my b2000, I also got a second drive and 2 meg card with it.
Naturally, I had to install them myself (the wonders of CMO!).
At any rate, to install the second drive, you need to jumper not the
drive, but the motherboard.  If I remember correctly, there is a
jumper near the floppy connector on the mother-board.  I needed to remove
the cable to jumper it...  I remember the instructions saying something
about the drive not being recognized if theis jumper was not set.  I
don't remember having to jumper the drive at all.  Hope this helps.
I don't have the manual here at school, sorry.
