Re: Disk-Drive

2007-03-14 by Heiko Mehring

Hello Chris,

thanx for your answer. DS0 doesn`t work. I think it must be DS2. The 
most drives just have DS0 and DS1. Two of the drives, which I have 
found In my basement have the possibility to jumper DS2 - one of 
them via jumper-plug the other via soldering iron. On both drives 
the LED lit up when I jumper DS2. But the formating process doesn`t 
start. If I will start formating, both drives-LED lit up and the 
display says, that the drive is not ready.

Best regards
Heiko
