I'm trying to connect a 5.25" 360k drive to my 520STE (now expanded
to 2M with 1M SIMMs). The problem is (I guess) that the step rate
is to high so the drive can't step as fast as required. How can I lower
the step rate? I saw someone mention a program to put in your
auto folder. Does anybody have this program? If so, please e-mail me
a copy.
Another problem is that the drive isn't selected properly. If I set
the drive select strap to DS1 (or any other position) the drive
doesn't get selected. I have to put the strap in the MX position, 
which means that it is always selected, but then I can't use the
internal drive...  Could it be that the DS output from the computer
doesn't have enough sink capability, so I have to put a buffer on the
DS output???  

Regards
