[Coco] 3.5" FD drives

[Bruce W. Calkins]

I would expect (and don't mind being proven wrong) that drives of that late 
a manufacture would have solder pads.  Generally 2 sets 1 of which will have 
a solder bridge.  To change it over you would remove the solder and bridge 
the other set.  By that date it was rare to find the full 4 sets of solder 
pads, jumpers or a 4 position switch.  I snagged a few 3.5" drives decades 
ago that had a 4 position switch, but outside of my collection it has been a 
very long time since I've seen one.
