Hi Ho,
This here is from a friend, and I cannot check my PEB/settings at this moment.
But maybe this problem is "well-known" or so, and you can give the right kick
"
Finally got some cables yesterday so I could get my Lotharek drive running as one single drive on my PEB (it is currently the only drive connected to the data cable). Works fine so far in single drive mode, but I wanted to use it as drive 1 and 2, so I set the 2 jumpers as described by Iwantgames above and I also made sure in the Lotharek configuration tool there are 2 drives A and B, which was the default setting anyway.
Whenever I select a disk image now on the Lotharek it is always available on both TI drives 1 and 2. So for example when I select disk image X for drive 1 (called drive A on the Lotharek LCD) and then I switch over to "drive B" on the Lotharek with the middle button and select then disk image Y for drive 2 (=drive B), I always see then disk image Y on both drives 1 and 2. I never could manage to get 2 seperate different disk images in both virtual drives so far.
I checked that with the Disk Manager from the Extended Basic v3.7 cart. I also tried to restart the computer just to make sure the software can see the disk change.
I also tried to connect it to the 2nd plug of the data cable but that didn´t change the behavior. Any idea what I could do wrong here?

EDIT:
He has set the jumpers "ID0A and ID1A to ON, all other jumpers to OFF."
[->I think this is the problem, we will see now what happens on ID0A + ID1B
]
UPDATE1:
"ID0A and ID1B on and the rest off does not work for me, now I only see drive 1 in Disk Manager. With the settings I had before I saw 2 drives with the same disk in it. Will have to do further experiments"
-->OK hmmmm...but this here should be the "better" setting. Maybe try ID1A and ID2B or so...
UPDATE2:
"Settings ID1A and ID2B did help, thanks! I connected a standard 3,5" floppy and the Lotharek on one single 3,5" floppy data cable with 2 connectors. D. was so kind to send me that cable a long time ago with his RS232 set. With that jumper setting the Lotharek is now DSK1 and DSK3, the standard 3,5" drive is DSK2. That´s a perfect setup, as I can boot into Extended Basic with the Lotharek and if I want I can still use stone age disks.
80 track mod seems to work fine as well, at least from what I have seen on the standard disk drive so far."
-> SOLVED
Thanks
