Hi Ken!  Long time no talk.

By OUT, I presume you mean un-jumpered.  Well, both LG and I are
unjumpered on this drive.

I couldn't even format a 1.2MB floppy until I removed the jumper from DC
and stuck it on RY.  Then, I could format and read a 1.2MB floppy.  But,
I still could not read a 360K formatted disk (CoCo), hence the Error
#247's.

Just called.  It's 7am here, so I should have the docs in my fax bin
when I get to work.

Thanks!
