Before seeing about testing the switches, I have to see if the disk drive works...hard to do much testing on a broken drive...you can figure out the device number switch as long as the unit is communicating and not just spinning...anyway, sometimes, after 20-30 or more years of sitting, it does take a bit of repetitive instructions to get these old things up and running...stay tuned!

I was back in the garage...and indeed, there was another 1541 disk drive...this one the person had been brave and violated the sacred Commodore warranty, so I need to test the drive and see if it works and if the switches still do what they were designed to do...if you recall, and I meant to mention this in the video, the last version of this drive, the 1541-II had dip switches as did the 1571 and the 1581...too bad the first several million of these were not so equipped...
