A 3.5" floppy drive can be fitted quickly to the external floppy drive port on the Einstein with a standard PC floppy drive data cable. Without alteration of the data lines on the ribbon cable it will act as drive 01 or B. To act as a boot drive 0 or A the ribbon cable can quickly altered as shown below.
If the original 3" internal drives are fitted these should have their jumper settings changed to be different from the external drives being fitted or an internal drive can be disconnected. The Einstein computer will have to be opened to do this.
An original three inch internal drive
for Einstein TC01.
Drive Jumpers Circled.
An external power supply for the 3.5 floppy or an extension power cable and splitter can be used from the Einsteins floppy drive's power cable.
This IDC
Connects to the Einsteins external floppy drive port.
This IDC plug will be attached to the floppy drive.
If the cable is left like this the floppy drive
will be 01 or B.
Do not use this IDC connector after the twist.
This IDC
Connects to the Einsteins external floppy drive port.
The DATA cable coloured red is line 1.
Cut line 10 close to the IDC
and 12 a little way from the IDC.
Join these two wires.
This will make the floppy drive a
boot drive 0 or A.
This IDC plug attaches
to the 3.5 floppy drive.
