Are you talking about what drives will work as a second floppy? I know for sure the Chinon does since I took one home from work and installed it in my 2000 as df1: (when I first got my 2000). The only problem I had is that the drive doesn't have a device select on the drive (it's on the pin-edge connector) and I had to use it as df0:. It works perfect, but has failed to load a few games (well, 2 only). There's also a jumper on the motherboard right by the floppy cable that has to be set.

Yes, I know I am replying to a reply, but the I missed the orig. and it is long gone now. Since CBM's official second internal drive kit contains a Chinon FB354, I would certainly expect one to work. I have ordered one from a mail order house, but have yet to receive it. At $85 though, it is a FAR better price than ~$150 at my local dealer.
