[net.micro.cpm] SA 850 Config or DJ2D

Cargo.PD%hi-multics@sri-unix.UUCP (03/09/84)

I have a Shugart Associates 850 drive which I am trying to connect to a
Morrow Designs Dick Jockey 2D (double density) controller (memory mapped
version). The 850 has many plugs and straps possible, and mine came from
a salvage depot with nothing plugged. Does anybody out there know the
canonical way to select the options? I tried the ones the 850 manual
said were plugged at the factory, but the drive wouldn't select. The
drive was asserting ready however, so that much at least was working.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hang in there, David --

I'll get home, dig out the DJDD manual, and send you all I can.   (If
anyone else on the net needs/wants this, yell - the full response won't
be inflicted in the net in general.)

So..give me a day or two.  (Incidentally, David, I'll include the PROM
numbers off mine.  If different from yours, there MAY be incompatibilities.
Donno...
