Does anybody know where I can find definite information on the jumper
settings for Chinon FB354-A and FB354-E 880k floppy drives? These are
being used in an A2000 with the standard-issue Amiga floppy controller
cable.

Ever since I bought the FB354-A new, I haven't been able to get the
system to recognize and read from both. The FB354-A has one row with
three pins, and the E has two rows of three pins. I've tried every
possible combination, and in every case the second floppy light either
comes on and stays on, or never comes on at all. In neither case will
the system read anything from the second drive.

 And when I put anything in FD0 the system reads it OK but also puts an
FD1:???? icon on the desktop. Grrrr!

The system works fine otherwise, and I know the floppy cable is OK. All
I want to do is set the FB354-A as FD0 and the FB354-E as FD1 and leave
it the heck alone forever. Honest! I'll weld the cover on the damned
thing and never ever take it off again if I can get this fixed!! (Yeah,
right ....)

TIA

Rob
