Emax

So it does have to do mainly with drive ID assignment, I may even have 
some old drives kicking around that had the switchable jumpers. I also 
manage my family's PC repair shop which has been around since the late 
'70s so I think we might have something around I might not even have to 
solder. Was the drive you used a 1.44 drive?
