Sequential circuits samplers

Like many others, I had trouble with my floppy drive on my p2k, and 
searched for a replacement. One site (www.ftg.co.uk) said a Teac FD-235HF 
would work, and I just happened to have one of those. I tried it, and it 
did not work. I emailed the guy who had suggested the drive in the first 
place, he said something must have been specially modified for his 
application. Then I got to thinking. The Teac drive in question is a 
standard PC-type drive, which (these days) means it's hard jumperd for 
"drive select 1". I figured the Prophet, being so old, must be "Apple" 
wired rather than "PC" wired, meaning it requires the drive has to be 
jumpered for "drive select 0". Well, this drive has no jumpers, but it did 
have a small surface-mount resistor on the back at a position labeled 
"DS1", and a blank place labeled "DS0". So I unsoldered the resistor from 
DS1 and re-soldered it on DS0. Presto -- the drive works! I also found that 
standard PC-type HD floppy disks will work in the p2k if you fold some tape 
over both sides of the density select hole (the small square hole on the 
opposite side from the write protect hole). So now I can read disks, save 
disks, and I don't get any errors. One strange thing though -- the light on 
the drive comes on and stays on unless I auto-load a disk (have the disk in 
the drive when I turn the p2k on) or I put in a disk for a few seconds and 
then remove it after I turn it on.
