I want to use an old 5.25" (1.2Mb) floppy drive with a BBC computer. I already have case/PSU/cable/DFS etc, it's just the setting up of the drive that I'm not sure about. How/where do I connect a switch to make it 40/80 track switchable? Shall I have to change any jumpers on the drive? (Apart from DS0/1 as it's going to be one of a pair of drives). Thanks. -- Simon Child
