I need help installing a 360k DS/DD drive in an IBM-AT.
I purchased a drive that was removed from a Leading Edge
micro-computer when a hard disk was being installed. The drive
is made by Panasonic (Matsushita Communication Ind). There is
no obvious model number on the label but here are the numbers
that are there:
LR55467
E66484
626253
I have been put on endless hold by Leading Edge tech support at
617-821-4300.
What I need to know are the jumper settings that will allow
this drive to function as drive B: in the IBM-AT.
Thanks,
Todd Seeleman

It would help to know what kind of cable was used to connect it to
the leading edge controller. At worst, I'd expect that you'll have
to remove the terminating resistor from your current drive a:, be
sure there's one installed in the "new" drive, and check the drive
select address jumper. If you had an IBM style disk drive cable
in the Leading Edge machine, it should be ok (unless the tech
pulled drive a: instead of b:, and it's certainly possible). For
the IBM disk drive cable, both drives are set to DS1.
