Re: Emulator II and HxC SD - recommissioning

I tried following these instructions this weekend, and I think the above may be incorrect. When I look at the HxC manual, it appears to indicate that if you install the HxC in Drive 2, you need to set the J3 jumper to ID2/Drive B, not ID2/Drive A. Please verify.

I would like to set the floppy drive as the upper drive ( to copy all my library on the hxc ) but I don't know how to set the jumber on the floppy drive cause of the "twisted" cable...
