Hi,

Does anyone know DIP switch configuration for Zenith ZWL-183-92?

In reference manual for 180 it shows it for a 6 pins dip switch but it seems do not correspond to 8 pins switch in 183.

I appreciate any help.

It is a model with one FDD and HDD, so if anyone has the same model can maybe also check how it is configured.

Thanks,
Branko
