Crash, as you know, the Drive ID select option has been fazed out on most of the remaining new floppy drives on the market.
If you go to a small computer store that has a selection of older "upgraded PCs" piled in the corner, you should be able to salvage out a lightly used older model with the jumper for $5.
Fortunately, since you are dealing with a Falcon, you will not have anything else to worry about except setting the drive to ID=1, PC FDDs have it set at ID=0 by default.
I have a bunch of the correct drives and would be happy to give you one for free, but the postage would be 5X more than what you could get one for locally.
Or,, you could just buy my NIB Falcon for $600..... :)
