| 295.1 | Use better disks | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeff Lomicka | Fri Nov 11 1988 10:57 | 2 |
| My system does that on cheap disks, such as "Verbatim", which is
one of the worst offenders.

| 295.2 | More on noisy disk drives | SMAC10::NEALE | Steve Neale @ BSO (UK) | Mon Apr 24 1989 11:34 | 8 |
| On the subject of noise, when selected, my SF354 whirs loudly with or without
a disk in it. Sound like bearings to me. My other SF354 doesnt whir at all.
I know oil is probably not a nice thing to use but has anyone shut up a noisy
motor? I've been twitchy about disks ever since I caught an operator where I
used to work straightening an RP02 platter with pliers. Got the data off
though. The condition of the drives after was not reported.

| 295.3 | 3 drives. | UBOHUB::FARRANTL | Lee Farrant | Sun Dec 04 1994 12:05 | 12 |

I have a single sided internal drive and external and a double
sided external drive. I thought if I just daisy chained the
two external drives when I booted drive C would appear.
Is this not the case, or do I have to do something special?

I have a 520stfm

Lee,
The WD1772 Floppy Disk Controller only supports two disk drives,
the Internal Drive and one External Drive (Drives 0 & 1)
Although there are two drive select lines on the floppy disk port
DIN 14S connector, they are 1 per drive, rather than a binary
selection.
