- Well, offhand I'd say.. "it's broke!" Seriously, I've never installed one or
- used one, but I'd be willing to say that there's one of those "hidden tricks"
- that "only your dealer would know" (you know, like the DF1: jumper) hiding
- around there somewhere. Either that or it's just plain broken... have you
- been able to get good results with regular DS floppies?
