The Setup: Enhanced Apple //e (128k) duo-drive controller in slot 6 central point software 'universal controller' in slot five duo-drives connected to the controller in slot 6 cutting edge 800k (it came from a mac) on the top cable of the controller in slot 5 The Question: Everything seems to work perfectly *except* the 800k drive spins (and the light is on ALL the time) I know this shouldnt be working like this. Is there a way to turn that drive off when its not in use? Will it hurt (or make it wear down) a lot sooner if it runs all the time? I cant get the central point controller to boot from slot six either, and when it does boot from slot five (via pr#5) it will only boot the 800k drive. I'd sure like to free up a slot instead of having two controllers... The Challenge: Can anyone out there answer any of my questions? thanks in advance to all who will reply //mike wires@uiuc.edu
