The drives I bought recently have no jumpers - I assume the makers think
they are no longer needed.
I have found that by default the PC drives will be drive 1 on a BBC.
If anyone gets a 3.5 inch drive w/o jumpers drop me a mail and I'll check
what pin numbers you need to twist.

Has anyone tried a 1.44M PC drive on a BBC and found it didn't work ?
It might be worthwhile keeping a record of drive models that do work.
