Subject: DFS Installation

I have just installed a DFS to my BBC Model B, and am having some problems
with it.

The interface seems to be working more or less, because I can see the
catalogue entries of my disk collection, but the drive is refusing to access
any tracks other than track 0. I know the drive is OK, because it works fine
on my BBC master. I can even write small files onto the disk and read them
back, but as soon as the beeb tries to step the head I get an error message
(error 18).

Does anyone know enough about disk-drives/DFS to offer some suggestions ?

P.S. The keyboard links are not set (I didn't get a DIP module with the DFS
chips) is this the problem ?

Hope someone can help,

thanks,

Jon
