Clarify the DC/RDY selector
== Mitsumi D359T3 ==
There is a small SMD resistor on the back of the circuit board marked with the number '''D.C.'''(Disk Change).
Next to it is an empty solder pad marked with '''RDY'''(Ready). Desolder the resistor and move it to the RDY-Position. The drive now outpus outputs a RDY-SignalReady signal instead of a Disk Change signal.

Break the connection between PIN1 and the small chip nearby.
