I just had to replace my internal drive on my 1040 (for the third time!!).

I am tired of having problems with Chinons, even though they're the cheapest.

This time, I got a Toshiba mechanism.  I had to cut the case, and bend the
internal cable upside down to make it fit, but it seems to work OK.

There is one minor, but annoying, problem.  When I swap disks, and hit the
escape key to get a new directory, the system rarely gives me the new
information.  I usually get the bee, but the drive doesn't go on, and the
old window remains.

Somebody told me that I need to add a resistor, as some replacement drives
have this problem.  Can anybody tell me what type of resistor and where to
put it.

Thanx.
