- You don't say how you did this, but if it was by replacing the drive in a
- standard Amiga external drive with the HD one, you will need to disable the
- auto-config circuit in the external's circuitry. Otherwise, that circuitry
- will ID the drive as double-density, not giving the drives circuitry to ID as
- High density.
