Subject: Re: Connecting a BBC drive to a RISC PC

It's pretty straight forward really. All you need is a new floppy drive
cable with both 3.5 and 5.25 connectors on it. If you replace the existing
RISC PC floppy cable with this and plug everything in if should work. Don't
forget to run configure to tell it you have a second drive too.

That's what I did to get it working on my machine. The only difference is
that I wasn't using a double density BBC drive. I have a DD/HD switchable
PC drive instead.

Before you do this, you might like to check out The BBC Lives site as I
believe they have Level 9 adventures for download.
