| You may need to change the ribbon connector. Not sure, but I think that
is it. Plu the end that was on DF1: into DF0: and change the jumper
over one pin.

The jumper you are looking for is J301.
You insert the jumper for a second INTERNAL drive and, remove it
for the second floppy to be inserted outside the main box.

| re .2
I think you insert 301 to make the system recognize the second internal
floppy. An external floppy is recognized as df2: whether 301 is in place
or not. And yes, I currently have df0:, df1: and df2: on my system.

| 4504.4 | The mysterious dissapearance of J301 | COMICS::HOGGAN | No, I am not kidding !!! | Tue Feb 12 1991 05:42 | 11 |
| Hi,
Jumper 301? I'll give it a go, but I've been looking at the motherboard
and I canna find a jumper with such a high number. I have a German rev
4.0 board; I believe that the numbering scheme changed somewhere along
the line. There is a large bank of jumpers along the middle-rear of the
board, near the floopy connector on the motherboard. Does anyone know
what they are for, or what they would be numbered?
Cheers, dave

| Hi,
Just to let you know that I found the jumper.
FYI Jumper 301 is known as J36 on a german rev4.0 board.
Anyway it works! Thanks.

| Can I add a question to this discussion?? I took the guts out of an
external commodore drive (The mech is a NEC) and put 'em inside the
A2000 as df1: I put in j301 and the drive works but the red drive
select lites between df0: and df1: seem to be reversed! When you're
accessing df0:, df1: lites or they both lite.. any ideas on this one??

| Set the jumper of DF0: to unit 0.
Set the jumper of DF1: to unit 1.
Connect the *end* of the ribbon cable to DF0: and the other ribbon
connector to DF1:.
Depending on your system the ribbon cable may be too short to allow
DF0: to reside in the left-hand bay. Commodore ships their 2000's
with DF0: in the right-hand bay.

| Hi,
I had (and sorta still have) a similar problem to -.2. When accessing
DF1:, both DF0: and DF1: leds lit. When accessing DF0: none of the leds
lit. I shall try setting DF0: as unit 0 but I suspect that it already
is set as such. Any ideas? (I always put it down to a dodgy led in
DF0:)

| I finally figured out the reason my DF0/DF1 lites were weird. When you
add df1, you have do the illogical thing and NOT hook it to the other
ribbon cable end but instead disconnect df0: and puts it's end on your
new df1: then hook the spare ribbon cable end to df0: Apparently the
"drive select" consists of the twist in a couple of the ribbon cable
conductors and this drive select is actually the "LED" select! Unit
number is probably determined by the jumpers on the back of the drive,
and I just experimented 'till I got my NEC drive to work.

I have an original CBM 3.5" floppy drive that was a unit 0 in a system.
I'd like to install it as a unit 1. I know all about the ribbon cable,
and the J301 jumper; but can anyone tell me what the DRIVE jumper
settings need to be? The underside is a maze of jumpers and I have no
docs.
Thanks!
