Hello netters,
  I've got a PC diskdrive and want to use it as a second drive for
  my A500, but it won't work OK. I checked out the pin-names and saw
  they were the same, so I swapped it with my internal drive to check
  if it would work. It worked fine, apart from one thing: my A500
  would not recognize the disk-change. Is this due to the diskdrive
  or does the interfacing require some extra hardware?

  If someone could help me out, ThanxAdvanceInVeryMuch!!!
