Hello all, I am brand new and trying to figure this out. I can find no info anywhere on the net except for one youtube video mentioning it as a possibility. I have been able to remove the primary floppy drive and attach it via jumper wires to the floppy ribbon cable. I have a usb drive in formatted as 720k with pcdos 3.3 loaded on. When starting, the the green light on the emulator stays illuminated and the usb thumbstick light blinks, but the 5150 just boots into cassette basic. The secondary floppy has its read light on, which it doesn't do when the regular floppy drive is installed. Is this something that just isn't possible or could I be missing something? Thanks for any help.
This is the drive I purchased https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4PCK9S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And the 5150 looks to have the third bios revision.
