   most ibm drives are set too drive b   so you need to set it to drive A  all   
   all later disk drives for ibm do this with the cable.   
   try to find a drive with < A -B > on it  try a 720k drive from a apple.   
   some 1.44 drives will not work on a stf - stfm -ste. // megaste may work in   
   720k   
   only.
