Hello all, I have owned my emulator for some time now. I recently decided to install a 3.5 lower drive. I dont remember exactly where I went wrong, but at some point long ago I was unable to get my original 5.2 drive to boot consistantly. Recently I havent been able to get it to work(load diskette)keeps coming up. So I thought I would istall the second drive, and boot from there. Problem is I do not own a 3.5 os disc. My thinking was that I could download it from an emulator web site. Is there such a place that I could go to for the OS. Im not exactly sure that that would solve my problem, being that the disc has to be formatted in the E2, correct ?? Well anyhow, Id like to begin trouble shooting anyway I can. It could be the Os Disc. It is a version OS 3.1( 5.2)and was made copied about 5 years ago. Is it commen that these discs go bad ? The motor on the 5.2 drive seems to be running, my connections are correct. Im not sure if I need to change my jumper settings ?? I dont remember playing with them at all?? So as you can see I am very fresh with all this stuff, so many of questions have arised. ASny help wouls be appriciated. My ultimate goal is to get both drives going so that I can copy all of my sound discs. My emulator came with 2 drives, I tried replacing them awile ago, and ended up tossing the original drive. What the heck was I thinking ?? Well the set up never worked.. So that is where I am at the moment. Thanks for reading..best
