Three drives on the Scorpio-ZS256

    AK is known for Scorpio nevozmozhno
select the drive "C" and "D" :-( Rather, choose something they 
can be, but instead of "C" is always will be chosen by "A", and 
instead of "D" - "B". But the third drive to put it is 
possible, however, will only be permanently connected two of 
them, and the third is optional. 

     My "Scorpio" - in its original box,
so the problems with the placement of two five inch floppy 
drives do not, but the third, three-inch, I put on the left 
side of the metal racks, pre-cut out a slot in a plastic box,

that he played a couple of millimeters.
Insert a floppy disk, however, have the left side, but it is a 
very convenient :-) 

  Thus, the top five inch floppy drive in my primary, ie 
permanently connected, and the lower 5-tidyuymovy and 3-inch - 
extra. Which of them will be work together with a basic one - 
depends on switch position PC2 (see figure).

A double switch PC1 we can
drives change places. I will explain in more detail: for 
example, we have included a pair of drives - five inch and 
three-inch (switch PC2). In one position PC1 drive "A" will be 
a three-inch, and "B" - five inch, and in the other - on the 
contrary. 

     I think looking at the scheme, you
understand, but little more. Should involve only the wires 10 
and 12 loop from the motherboard to the floppy disk. They 
should be neatly cut and soldered in accordance with the 
scheme. By the way, the wire 12 to trehdyuymovke can be no 
strike. Well, other wires, of course, connected

through the plume, as it should be :-)
