I have been trying to replace the single sided 3.5" floppy drive on my
520st system with a drive that is double sided. All of the connectors
and dimensions are okay for the existing enclosure, and the drive works 
in single sided mode. However double sided mode fails. I assume that the 
controller does not support the second head. Does any one have any solutions
for the problem mentioned. Please send mail and I will summarize.
