Gentlemen (and ladies...)

I've got a friend looking over my shoulder here and he is interested in
setting up an A/B type of switch to determine which of two floppy disk 
controller controlled devices he is going to use.  He has a machine with a
3.5, a 5 1/4, and a tape backup system all controlled by said floppy
controller.

We've been toying with the idea of using an a/b switch along the floppy
cable but have absolutely no idea which of the many little wires we need
to connect to the switch.  Any ideas?

Also, if you've got a better idea as to how we can do this, please let me
know.  Reply by e-mail or post here if you think that the world has a right
to know.

		Thanx in advance.
