Does anyone know if JiffyDOS 6.0 uses the same drive controllers as 5.0? I've been thinking of getting another 1581, and I'd probably upgrade to JDOS 6.0 at the same time, but I don't relish the thought of buying three new drive chips (not to mention putting them in). (And yes, I know one comes free...that's my excuse for upgrading; to get the new 1581 controller chip.) If 6.0 uses different drive ROMs, are they downwardly compatible with the 5.0 drive ROMs, or will my drives blow up on me? :) Thanks for all the help. --Andrew
