From Alexey Lyoshkin To All 17 March 1997

Huge greetings to you All!

So, I decided to assemble Scorpion, and I had a new idea. question: is it possible
to connect an IBM 5.25" 1.2 mega drive to it?
Will it work tolerably?

Naturally. I have the same one, and it works “like a darling.”

Good luck! Evgeny.

It is possible, you just need to remember to switch it to the 800K operating mode, i.e. not
on HD. This can be done either by jumpers on the drive itself, or by shorting to
ground IMHO 2 pins on its connector (but here I can already "forget").
