#Adding Internal BB Drive
3 messages in this thread
Is there information somewhere concerning how to connect an additional
internal drive to the A2088 BridgeBoard? While I am waiting for CATS to
send me more information on the BridgeBoard I would like to connect both
the 5-1/4 drive and a 3.5 drive internally. It seems that since CBM
decided that the second drive would be external the signals to select a
second drive aren't available on the internal cable. Is this correct? Has
someone determined a way to do this? Presently I can use either as drive
A: but not one as drive A: and the other as drive B:.

George,
When the A2088 first came out…someone here checked the schematics
and said that the select lines are indeed separated and not available on
both connectors. Back then, folks were trying to use the external
connector as drive A: and it didn't work. Thus, the schematics were
checked to see where the select lines went.
I didn't do the checking (don't have the schematics) so can't
verify any of this.

Thanks for the info, Don. I'll get my scope out this weekend and determine
if the only problem is the select signal. If so I may be able to jumper it
over to the correct cable run for internal operation.
