I'm trying to interface a Panasonic 3.5" drive as a replacement for my external drive on the A1000 but am baffled by the jumper blocks on the underside of the drive. Isn't Panasonic the drive used in the 2000? If so, do you have any hints or clues as to where the shorting blocks need to be placed to get the drive to work with the 1000? If I remember correctly, every drive on the Amiga wants to be set up as drive 0, and then the cable does the actual physical selecting. Anyway, if you can shed some light on the subject, I'd be grateful. Keith
