In article <1989Dec21.201152.4270@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca>, barry@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca (Barry Lay) writes... >(Falcon). Is there a way to get the Atari to think that an external drive is >drive A? I tried installing the external drive in the place for the internal Disconnect the cable from the internal drive and then swapp the "drive select A" and "drive select B" wires on either the floppy round connector on the back of the ST or on the round floppy connector going into the external drive. You can get the signal names and pin numbers from the back of the users manual which came with the ST. If know what your doing enough to swap the wires in the right place then you can do it without having to disconect the internal drive. If you leave the internal drive connected and swap the lines in the wrong place then you'll end up with both drives "driving" the ST at the same time.
