Subj: DVI DRIVES

This may have been cover before- but:
 
After being bored yesterday evening, I fianlly decide to take apart my DVI and
see what happens if I stick a PC (ms-dos) type 5 1/4 DD floppy in that
seductive second bay...
 
And wonders- its works fine! No jumpers to switch, no noting! Just plug and go.
THis is good news since I know know when my 0 drive fails, I can just use any
cheap 5 1/4 floppy.
 
Of course, its only using the singe side- so still only the normal amount of
drive space is available. But if you have a DCI with one floppy- you ought to
get that other one filled up!  Its alot easier than swapping floppies all the
time.
