# A JLO FDD Interface Hardware Project

My system consists of a TS-2068 with a JLO Disc Interface with a 5.25 inch drive and a pair of Amdek 3 inch drives. I have found that I cannot transfer the contents of the larger discs to the smaller drive or vice versa. This is because the JLO SAFE DOS will transfer files from one drive to the next logical drive ‘eg: Drive 2 to Drive 3). Since I did not want to invest in a fourth drive, I came up with this project.
