The problem is with my drive cable, the one that came with the FD-502. The
34-pin connector for /d1 could not reach the card edge on the drive.  I called
the dealer for help and I was told to zigzag-route the ribbon cable so that it
will reach.  He said it definitely will reach then.  And it did, only problem
was that I could no longer close the case with the ribbon cable now in the way.
So I called again.  This time he got a FD-502 case and the same drive I bought
and proceeded to try to make the cable reach and the case close.  And sure
enough he couldn't do it either.  He offered to have one of his people create a
new drive cable for me with a real FD-502 case and the same drive as a guide. 
A cable that will zigzag but will reach and still let the case close.  This
cable would completely replace the present one, incl. for /d0.  It's been
nearly a fortnight and I'm still waiting for the cable.  The delay may be
caused by delays in being able to ship some other items I ordered so it would
be in 1 big pkg, but I've not yet enquired.
