I cannot seem to change one particular internal floppy drive from df1: to df0:. This is nothing new for me…I've done it to other drives. This particular drive is a Matsushitu (Panasonic) model JU-363-282. It has two rows of 9 pins each on the bottom of the drive. Jumpers seem to be able to short across rows OR on same row. There are no instructions. Printing on the circuit board seems to indicate the proper jumper position. When I did this, the drive seemed to act pro C the drive seemed to act properly, except it would not boot. The screen asking for a disk asking for a disk insertion disappeared as it normaw3lly would after a disk is inserted, but it comes right back asking for a boot disk. And yes, the disk originally inserted was a boot disk. Is there possibly another jumper to change in addition to the device number? Any help woul be greatly appreciated. 225-7401 any time. {/exit >i{

Frank, I saw that nobody was able to help out on your floppy drive problem. Are you still having the problem? If so, if you could please post a bit more specific information (computer model, number of drives, kickstart version, etc.) I'll try to help out. David
