(forwarded to Paul Toal) 6#: 40633 S12/Bridgeboard/AMAX 15-Nov-91 03:38:58 Sb: #40552-BB in the A3000 Fm: John Gager 71336,624 To: Michael Gerard 75505,1757 (X) Maybe I should start selling a Bridgeboard internal drive kit, considering how much correspondence I've received lately 8^) Yes, you can mount a 3.5" drive in the other drive bay in your 3000 and use it with the BB. You will need to get a 3.5" internal drive for the 3000, and I bought mine from Safe Harbor. It's the AIR A3020 drive, and you can probably get it from other mail order outfits also. You will also need to change the connector on the drive cable to a standard ribbon cable connector to match the new drive because the 5.25" drive uses the card-edge type. Once you get the hardware hooked up, all you have to do is add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file on the IBM side: drivparm =/d:0 /f:2 And that should do it. Works just fine except that now the other drive bay is filled I can't use it for another 3.5" Hard drive or floppy. Not a big deal since I have an external SyQuest, and don't need another 3.5 floppy that bad. John – K7KB (via Whap!) – Whapping from the North Coast Michael
