   Okay, I got the Fujitsu (model B03L-4505-0 240A) 3.5's working great as   
   drives 0 & 1. (these 2 drives cost me $15 shipped. I got them from eBay).   
   (After copying all the operating system disks I had from 5.25, over to 3.5")   
   I had to snip 2 of the pins on the bottom row (see picture) counting from   
   the left, pins 7 & 9 on each drive. Pin 7 was actually already gone when I   
   got the drives.   
   Then the jumpers for disk "0" is set on M1 on the left and 00 on the right.   
   The jumpers on disk "1" , M1 & M2 are left open and on the right 01   
   (see picture I posted earlier)   
      
   I just used a standard floppy ribbon cable, but did as instructed and   
   un-twisted the ribbon on the end connector.   
      
   Only one problem remaining. I can't seem to format disks to 80 cyl.   
   Formatting to 40cyl works great though.   
   Any ideas? :-)   
      
   Thanks!
