Along similar lines, can anyone explain how to use a Manzana Mux Card? I
picked one up recently, recalling it was supposed to let you expand the
number of pc internal floppies from two to four. If I'm not mistaken, it
installs as a bridge card (like the Central Point Option card) between the
standard controller and the drives.
Does anyone know how to configure it? It's got 3 jumper block areas. It
looks like one sets up the port address, but the others are a mystery. Also
I'm wondering if it needs a special software driver or something.
Now, the bonus question: can the Manzana card be used in combination with
the Central Point card to build a multi-format universal copy machine with a
wild mix of drive types? What would the bridge cabling sequence be in this
case?
