  I have a question about drives.  I recently bought a used 5 1/4" 1.2 meg
drive and I heard yesterday that there is some type of resistor that needs to
be removed when a drive is used as a second drive.  Since I bought the drive
used there were no docs with it... so could someone fill me in on this       
resistor?  Like what is its purpose, what does it look like, where is it
located, etc.  Thanks for any help.
