INFO ON 3 1/2 DRIVES -> IBM DRIVE to AMIGA 2000 interfacing
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Does anyone out there have any pin-outs and/or jumper settings for 3 1/2 inch
disk drives (either or both 720 KB and 1.44 MB). I'm trying to interface
a 1.44 MB drive to an Amiga and I specifically need information regarding the
_CHNG line (change-line - toggles when a disk is popped in and out). The
drive will read/write disks OK but won't recognise a change of disk (unless I
inform the OS manually). I can configure the drive as a 720 KB drive on my PC.
The drive in question is a Chinon 1.44 MB drive.
Any information recieved with thanks.
If I get a lot of useful info, I will post a summary.
Cheers to All,
Mark F. Bower.
