[comp.sys.atari.st] External/Internal Drive Swap

csc344@central1.lancaster.ac.UK (Slarti) (05/26/89)

	Here's just a brief query from a basically non-technical person :

	I have a double sided external drive and a single sided internal
one.  Is it feasible to simply unplug both and swap them around,  or is
some further hardware modification needed.  As you may have guessed (!),
 I would like to have the double sided drive as drive A,  so that I can
boot from double sided disks.

Thanx in advance,

I dont think you will have any problem making the switch.Atari used about 4
different mfg of disk.The DD DS disk  is smaller in length than the DDSS.I  
just exchanged my DD SS  Chinook Dual with no other changes.Regards
