Thank you for your clarification, I see.  Unfortunately, the drive
in question has no jumpers.  So, I'll have to find an alternative
solution.

I'm tempted to connect two CD-ROM drives and place the floppy
diskette data simply onto a CD.  Or, find a (compatible?) SCSI
floppy diskette drive.

Any (other) ideas are, needless to say, more than welcome.
