external disk drive
« on: June 19, 2006, 11:07:13 PM »
I have a external disk drive made by ____?something?____ image that when hooked up to my A2000 on the external disk drive port shows up as an icon labeled DF2:??
Is there a jumper that should be changed? I know I had to change the board jumper when I had two internal disk drives but do you have todo the same for external drives?
thanks alan :roll:

You should removed the jumper on J301 if you presently have no internal DF1 drive.
Won\'t hide my location.

You are stuck with that, pretty much. Internal drive designations = DF0 & DF1, external drives = DF2 & DF3. That's the way the Amiga assigns floppy drive numbers.....
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+
