 My internal 800K floppy drive bit the dust (the ol' head decapitation
trick), and I thought I'd be clever and swap my Apple *external* floppy
drive into my Mac to replace it. However, the drive doesn't seem to
be able to read & write when connected internally (it is recognized,
though). I was told that something needed to be fiddled with (two wires
cut, I believe) in order for an external floppy drive to be used as an
internal drive, and that there *might* have been an article on this in
a past BMUG newsletter.

 Does anyone have any experience with this, or know the correct procedure?
(This is on a 2 MB 512E w/SCSI & XPRAM, by the way.)

 Thanks a heap...
