Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

There were no jumpers on my drive,

About the spinning floppy, the www.buchty.net/casio site says:
"
Attention: In my special case using the /MOT line for motor control
resulted in a permanently spinning floppy. This may result from a
defective NAND gate which drives that line - I just didn't care.
Instead of using the /MOT line I wired /DS0 to /MOTEx which works
perfectly for me.
"

I also had a permanently spinning drive so I wired /DS0 to /MOTEB as
instructed and it works perfectly.
