- Has anyone sucessfully installed and utilized a CBM distributed chinon
- HD floppy drive? If so, I'm seeking advice on how to do so. It came with
- no documentation or support software (developer distr.) but I've heard of
- many already successfully using it. I have an Amiga 3000 running under
- 2.04. I've switched the J351 jumper and the jumper on the back of
- the drive to make it correspond to df1: and it sucessfully supports
- the amiga 880k format. However, any read/writes to either df0: or df1:
- cause both drives to spin (though the drive not reading/writing does
- not do anything other than spin). But I want it to work properly (one
- drive at a time) and utilize 1.44MB format under amiga and msdos with
- the CrossDosFilesystem. Any help much appreciated. Thanks,
- John
