   Mega Ste dip switches for hard disk cont

   Hello,   
      
   With the acquisition of a new floppy drive I decided to try and get my   
   Mega Ste up and running. I was wondering what the jumper settings should   
   be on the mother board connector for the Atari hard dish controller when   
   the controller is removed? Are there any other dip switches on the   
   mother board that must be flipped when the controller is removed?. I   
   want to use my ICD Link II in its place. All of this was because I   
   thought the controller might have been at the origin of some of my   
   problems with getting the hard disk to work properly. However, when I   
   opened the case a red resistor pack (at least that's what I am calling   
   it) fell out. It has 8 pins with a shiny red housing that covers them   
   across the top. There are other similar ones on the mother board. The   
   questions is did it fall out of the mother board from somewhere or was   
   it a leftover during fabrication? Are there any schematics of the Mega   
   Ste that might tell me where it might have come from or where they   
   should be? Google turned up some references but nothing concrete. It   
   could be at the origin of all my problems. The last series of numbers on   
   the resistor are 311J213.   
      
   Thanks
