That's fine to force a probe for them. What I'd like to find out from an Insight owner is what unit numbers can be selected on their tape drives (jumpers??). The logic I submitted a while back was to not probe an Insight if there is known to be a real floppy drive using that unit number. If Insight owners can set their unit number to something like 2 (or 1 if they have only one disk) then it won't interfere with disks. Also, any idea how to set a 2Mb/s transfer rate on some of the newer fdc's? (I was told such a chip exists but who knows. :-)) I've added support for 1Mb/s transfers and fifo's when using tape on my system but I'd like to be able to test for 2 as well. - Steve steve2@genesis.tiac.net
