Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Joaquim,

The phto would be great! Also, if you could list any jumpers/settings 
you had to change on the floppy.

Also, does the new drive stop rotating and go into rest mode after 
finishing loading the disk? There seems to be an issue that some  
drives keep running after loading, and the only way to put them into 
rest mode is to eject the disk. That is the case with mine.

Cheers, Graham
