[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] Upgrading an Atari SS drive to DS

ldl2142@galileo.rtn.ca.boeing.com (8472 BE32R) (03/13/91)

I believe that this has been discussed previously, but could someone out
there please post some clear, complete directions on what is required to
upgrade an Atari Single Sided Floppy disk to a DS disk?

I'm interested in which types of drive mechanisms can be used (If there are
any restrictions, that is.), as well as what switches, wires, etc. must be
modified for the drive to be recognized as DS.



As an aside, does anyone know if any drive mechanisms other than the NEC
have problems with the Spectre GCR?


If someone has this info, but doesn't want to post it, please email me at

ldl2142@galileo.rtn.ca.boeing.com

Thanks,

Layne Lommen
