Exactly what is not working properly?

What kind of drive are you using? Can you tell me the make and model number?

The existing Coco Drive should be Drive 0. The 3.5" as standard, should be set to drive 1.

I'm assuming it's a 1.44mb high density floppy drive. You will only be able to use low density media, as the Coco Controller will be unable to communicate with the drive in high density mode.

I recommend ADOS in order to set the drive as 80 tracks, double sided. You will be able to use the drive that way.

If you provide more information, we can be more helpful.

Does anyone have one of these creatures?



I’m trying to do exactly that, but I cannot get the 3 ½” to work properly.



Neither of them has a jumper or switch to tell which is D0 or D1.



Do I need to make a twist in the cable to accomplish this?



Please contact me privately so we can discuss this solution.



Thanks
