The 55GFV for this use is jumperd so that its running as the 55F and 720k

is far more common.

I've been running one that way for several years. The drive I burried

as "A:" is one of those oddball IBM PS/2 no bezel types. By doing that
the externally accessable drives are uncommitted and makes space
