Hard sectored 5.25 ?

Thanks for the info. I connected the Shugart SA400 drive to Supercard Pro, but experience a strange behavior. A rescan floppy drives, does select the drive, spins the disk, but will not show the drive in the Device listbox. In drive/disk utilities, I can however do the test that also moves the head. At some point the device does show up in the listbox and I can perform a copy to a file. At some point it also disappears again from the device listbox.  I tried different flatcables, different power supply, different drive select jumpers, other SA400 drives, rebooted the pc and software, checked the termination resitors on the one drive connected, but this behavior remains. Should I try to reload the firmware? Other suggestions?

Thanks,
Wilko
