I know this is a strange request, but there are methods to my madness. I hope somebody from CBM can help, but if anybody knows, I would appreciate it greatly. I need to make the bridgecard recognize the rear floppy connector as drive A: instead of drive B:. Why? Well I did this dumb thing, I got an ST251 drive for the A2090 controller. Why is that dumb? I now have no place for the 5 inch floppy drive internally for use with the bridgecard, which I MUST have to boot the bridgecard. The only other alternative is to have a hardcard on the PC bus to boot from, an investment I can't make, nor have any desire to at this time. Anyway, I noticed while spying the bridgecard carefully, that there is this interesting jumper block called "JS1" connected to the floppy disk controller chip. Something tells me what I want is here. There is no mention of this in the documentation at all. Anybody have the story? If this jumper block won't do it, I've got an X-acto and iron that will. Either way will do, I need it pretty bad.
