Hi Baron,
the PC drives are FD-235 HF not GF as far as I've been able to identify and 
the jumper set is different.

For the most part I reckon all I need is to know the jumper matrix settings, 
from there I should be able to sort out modifying any current drive to suit.

However, if you do find some GF drives I would be most interested.

Thanks for the help
Greg
