I'm good with the duality going away.  I see in a day longer ago that the split made sense and also was more useful. I don't think I've seen the cctech separate out much that can't be located and followed anyway. Appreciate all the efforts.  I'll look at my archives.  I think Jay had all I

I'll add that just switching the motor and select lines does mean that both the internal drive and the external drive must have termination on all the other (input) lines. That probably accounted for my "too low drive current" issue. You could switch all of the lines, but that may be easier said

After recently selling my ImageDisk system, and having a few spare older PC mainboards - I decided to make another - I did find a board that seems to have a decent FDC - it does all single density formats (many don't). Alas, it is "slightly newer enough" to only implement one floppy drive on it's
