Finally I have time to continue this.

Very late :P

Thanks for the explenation! But thats not the issue here.
There is no jumper or recognisable pins to set or resolder the ds on the panasonic drive.
But my confusion is this:
I read here that pc drives are always df1. Or ds1 so to say.
But the panasonics I converted like shown here on page 6, they register as df0: ds0 so to say.
I made 2. One for my amiga 500. One for my 4000d.
Both work great alone as df0.
But with a second yet original amiga diskdrive (internal or 1010) the amiga drive has to be ds1 for the combo to work.
When I put the amiga drives on ds0, None work.
However I cable it. The ds1 amiga drives always give ndos disks and read and write errors when trying to write or format.

So probably there is still something wrong with the ds setting on the converted pc drives.
Does anyone know how to change that on these?
