Hmm, interesting page. But, it only deals with the DS0/DS1 signal (I figured as much that it could be solved like this, as after all in a PC one can also connect 2 drives, so both signals would have to be present on the drive's pins). However, it says nothing about the Ready signal? Maybe it will work without... I don't know... ~Grauw --- Ushiko-san!
