twist or jumper

Post by namachari »

I'm planning to hook up a second HxC/Gotek drive as 'drive 2' on my IMSAI 8080.
My quick question is, do I put the second drive on the drive cable after the twist (drive 1 is presently before the twist)? Or should I put the drive before the twist (like drive 1) and just change the drive select jumper from S0 to S1?

Thanks

Phil

With the SD HxC just change the switches according to the manual.
For the gotek you can't connect it after a twist.

Thanks Jeff,
So does that mean that two Gotek drives can be placed before the twist, one set for S0 (Drive A, presently working), the other S1 (Drive B)?

Thanks
