Hi All, I have decided to do a spot of recabling in my 2000 to give, internally, a 51/4 drive A: and a 31/2 drive B:(presently df1:) leaving just df0: on the amiga side. As far as I can see, it is just a case of snapping an IDC connector part-way along the supplied floppy cable and sticking this into df1: and adding a suitable Drivparm line to config.sys. Being sensible? I think I will in fact make up a new cable for this – I don't suppose I will do any serious damage 🙂 Can someone please explain the jumper settings for the dreadfully noisy Citizen drives as supplied by C= (two rows of three pins). When I boot up with df1: disconnected I get df1:bad in workbench and in response to 'info'. What do I do to stop amiga looking for df1:, is there a jumper or something? Joe Wylot (UK) – via Whap!

Joe, Yes there is a jumper as a matter of fact. J301 needs to be opened. It's on the motherboard near the floppy connector. Don
