Title: Hardware change device number of internal 1571 - where to cut wire?
Post by: MIRKOSOFT on September 27, 2010, 03:32 AM
Hi!

I want to finally change device number of internal C1571CR of my C128DCR.

Where to cut wire / pin to change device number from 8 to 9/10 or 11?

Don't want switcher, but if you have also scheme how to build it, I will be happy and grateful.

Thank you everybody.

I answered your other thread about this.
Did you not read the article on Ray's website?

C128DCR INTERNAL DRIVE:
     The internal 1571 in the metal case USA version C128DCR has no
external switches for drive select. It is factory set for device #8.
There are drive select "jumpers" inside the computer however, on the
motherboard near the drive. They are the two tiny silver half-circles
with a bar between them. Cutting the bar opens the jumper. If you look at
the PC board just under the left side of the drive, you will see them. It
is not necessary to remove the drive unless you plan to solder in there.
The jumpers are located near ICs U106 (a 6522), U114 and U112. DS (drive
select) jumper #1 is nearest to U112, towards the front of the computer.


And I'm going to guess you are not a native english speaker from the grammer of your posts.

So what this means is cut the #1 jumper to set it as device 9, and put a switch on it to close to go back to device #8.

Later,
