Hello,

I am trying to add a second floppy drive to my machine. The one it came with is a 720kb 3.5" drive. I have three 5.25" drives but due to the shortness of the flopyp drive cable in the machine I am only able to test one of them, an Epson SD-680L. It is discovered as B: by the machine but does not read disks at all. No motor action. It seems to me that the machine might only support real 360kb drives, and mine are all 1.2mb drives. Also, I see that commodore sold kits for upgrading and doing so without a kit can be tricky. The 720kb drive in my machine has an adapter connected between the cable and the drive with jumpers on it. As far as I can tell the 5.25" drives that came in the machine does not have such an adapter, so I'm hopefull that I might be able to find a compatible drive without to much trouble. The other drives I have are Teac FD-55GFR and Epson SD-700, both 1.2mb drives.

Does anyone know how I would go about upgrading with a second, 360kb 5.25", floppy drive in my machine?
