Thanks!  I wasn't looking forward to opening up all these drives to get them
tweaked in!  You mention that you have a DuoDisk.  I have a couple of those to
test out as well, but I need to be sure of the controller card to attach them
to.  They attach to the same card as the "Apple 5.25 Disk" drives do, don't
they? (Looks like a DB19 cable on a modified Disk][ controller?)

Thanks in advance, again!
