Nifty?! You aren't kidding, that's for sure!

I've got one of those über-rare A1020 5.25" floppy drives, but never managed to get it working on my setup. I imagine since it's what I like to term "OCS Tech" (A1000-era material, like my FutureSound sampler I had to build a parallel interface adapter for since the A1k had a screwy parallel port), I figured it most likely needs a mountlist entry call somewhere. Mine came with ZERO documentation (of course). Does yours?

Or would you have any insight as to how that buddy of yours managed to use it to back up his C64 disk collection?

Yes, for those that recall me, I've got a CatWeasel, but get the impression the A1020 can read the flipside of C64 disks, unlike "PC" 5.25" drives which require hardware modification.

Any data you (or others) can provide on the drive would be greatly appreciated.
