If not you may have a hardware issue with your Coreboard I.E. the WD2793 preventing the FDD of any type functioning.
Is this a Premium system if not then the BN60 is not suitable.

1) I don't actually have any 3.5" floppies on hand (but that's a relatively easy fix)
2) If I did have one on hand, other than the Bee, I don't have anything else to put it in to try and format it in any way.
Yes it is a Premium 128k. I'm sure the images are easy enough to find in the Repo, but are the Assembler listings (with comments would be nice) of the ROMs available anywhere?

Ah, OK... Which brings me to ask, what are all these numbers supposed to represent:
ds40 (I'm guessing its 5.25" floppy)
ds80
ds82
ds84
ss80
Didn't make a difference, though... So I think I'll pull the box apart again and see if I can make it work with the 3.5" drive I've already de-rivetted and can see what the jumpers are set to it and it's easy to access the Gotek jumpers even when screwed in place. I'm thinking that somehow the right hand 3.5" drive (still rivetted in place and can't see jumpers) might be configured as Drive A: ? I'm assuming the Bee only boots from the first drive and doesn't cycle through all drives looking for a bootable disk?
