I have obtained a Miniscribe 3425 disk. Unfortunately, I have no documentation on how to set it up as a second disk on my system (I do have the track/sector/# of heads info). Does anyone know how I might have to set the switches on the back of the thing to set it up correctly? Please respond via e-mail. Thanks. ----- Thomas V.

Please post info on the net. There may be a lot of interest - I am one. Thanks.

As per request, I am posting the info:

For a MiniScribe 3425, the following are the dipswitch settings
for choosing Drive Selects:
Drive Select 1 ON -234---8
OFF 1---567-
Drive Select 2 ON -234--7-
OFF 1---56-8
If your drive has jumpers it must be a 3425P (lucky guy) and you should
close DS1 and open DS0,DS2,DS3.
(Note: I'm not a lucky guy :-( )
