Putting a disk in flp2_ and none in flp1_ then trying to read
flp1_ may give an indication as to whether the "addressing" is
working.
There is a command in the Goldcard to set the step rate which
has to be set for some drives and causes them to rattle when
not right. I don't have a manual to hand and can't remember the
command syntax but maybe you can look it up or somebody
'listening' in knows it off by heart?

I have on my drives, Sony MP-F17W-01, only a switch for all the
4 positions. Any Ideas?
