The purpose of this board is to alleviate the problem of having to physically twist the cable and using a more modern MPF920 1.44mb floppy drive. It also solves the problem of having to dismantle the drive to alter the drive ID select. Also as noted the mandatorily fixes, the 1772 needs pull-up resistors to function correctly and these are also included on this board!

NOTE - While you can use a 1.44 floppy drive, this board does not add 1.44 support. You need a kit like ITEM #0041 to add support for 1.44 floppies.
