One of these, when switched to another setting, forces the drive to make the HD media check. It then WILL NOT format the DS/DD disks. I'm sorry, I can't remember exactly which jumper it is though... It's been quite a while since I experimented with it. D.L. Meyer / Grad. Student - Ag. Econ. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "Well, so much for #1."
