#External Floppy Hookup?
Greetings, all. I hope this question is not _too_ redundant…
I have recently liberated a 880k floppy from my A2000 (put another HD in the
spot), and bought an external floppy frame (with all req'd cables) to house the
now naked drive.
I know there's a 'DISK DRIVE' connector on the back of the A2000, but when I
connect the external drive and power up, nothing happens, and the drive is not
recognized. What am I doing wrong? I have a hunch something's needed in the
MOUNTLIST, but what settings are correct? There's no entry for DF0:.
I removed the jumper inside the A2000 (right near the floppy cable connector)
that tells the machine it has a DF1: when I removed the drive, and all boots
normally.
Other vitals: The system is an A2000 with a Derringer '030, 3.1 OS.
Oh – I also have an A500, 2.1 OS, running a BBS. Will the drive work with that
machine, as well?
As always, Thanks in advance.
