Yes. When I set the floppy ID to [0], I get errors coming out the patooey.

I'll have to take it apart again. That won't be until tomorrow, though.

I'd say that it's fairly intelligent. In the manual, it says that a 360k
5.25", 720k 3.5", and 1.2MB 5.25" drive were available. It claims that any
one or all the drives could be connected. It says nothing about a 1.44MB
3.5", though (were 1.44MB drives around in 1986?). It supposedly can
support 9 devices, including the internal HD. What devices, other than the
three floppies, I'm not sure.
