           Hello,
 
             I recently put a 2nd floppy (chinnon FB-354 intended for ibm
     clone use) in my 2500. It had no drive select jumpers on it so I used
     one of those adaptor cards that supplied the jumpers, but also turned
     the pin type conector into a flat edge connector. No problem I just
     installed a flat edge socket-type connector to the amiga ribbon cable
     When I boot up with a disk in df1: all is fine only that when I pop
     out the disk and put in another, the amiga does not perform the disk
     change operation.  SO it thinks the origonal disk that I booted up
     with is still in df1:.... What's the deal here? When I use Project D
     to back-up a disk, df1: does disk changes and appears to work fine..
     (Yes I have removed the jumper on the Mother board telling it that
     a second floppy is installed) Please send me some E-mail if you
     know anything about this problem...
 
                             -Thanks
                                  -Tom Nezwek IO91461@maine.bitnet
