Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory - TELECOM Digest Editor explained his 'home brew' computer: There is a slot to install another 1.44 mb floppy if desired and a space to install a larger old style 5 1/2 inch floppy if I wanted, or another CD-DVD thing if I wished, but I do not know where those latter two slots (if I were to fill them with devices) would plug in; the ribbon connectors inside are all in use as I recall.There should be two connectors on the floppy drive cable. The oldones had a flip on the address lines, but sometimes jumpers areused. With all your drives power connectors are more likely to be aproblem, but luckily power twinning cables are available. The lasttime I installed a 5 1/4" floppy, I ended up salvaging a floppy cablefrom a 286 because new computers only have the "small" floppyconnector. The 286s would have one large and one small. If you wantedto use two 3 1/2" floppies you would get an adapter from large tosmall. The reverse are not commonly available.Mark L. Smith smith@stones.com http://smith.freehosting.net
