   So, if you want to swap link 3 you have to take the lid off your

Yes it helped! Thanks. The jumper wasn't called J3 though. There are two 
jumpers next to the cables that go to the drive and they are calld PL8 and PL9.
I tried out every combination of setting and it worked with BOTH jumpers 
changed. Does someone (maybe from Acorn?) know if that's ok?

The problem wasn't solved completely because the drive should have 88 Meg
capacity. After formatting with 17 Sect/Track, 9 Heads and 1024 Cylinders
(The controller cannot cope with more that 1024, I think. The drive has 1073
cylinders), I had about 40 Meg free on the drive. Where is the rest???

I tried to format the drive with 32 Sect/Track and it worked. But this is
probably not advisable to do.
Any ideas?
