I didn't change the jumper on the factory drive that selects DS0, and the replacement from WC doesn't have any. The power cord has to flip between the stock and the replacement (and the replacement instructions indicate so). I have flipped back and forth the data cable, since there is no real keying to it. I hope it's not the driver chip. I can replace it, but it should would be easier not to. The drive spins up on power up, but doesn't seem to seek when I try to move data to/from it. I'll keep poking around and see if I can get the right combo working now. I appreciate the forum's help! Rob duncan wrote: > have you got the jumpers in the right place on the drives?
