      I've installed a Fujitsu 720K DS drive in place of the standard Atari
SS drive. (Direct swap into Atari's case).  The drive works fine except for
it's failure to detect a disk change unless it's write-protected. 

      I traced the problem to a different signalling scheme at the pins
responsible for telling the ST about the swap. Does anyone have the fix for
this, or have I acquired the wrong drive for use with the ST?
