Re: Replacement disk drive for S-1100 ?

2004-12-03 by aneurysmhook

The info in the link that was given in previous response has all the 
jumper settings you need.

I had the exact same thing happen & found a computer shop locally 
that will take in old pcs & have "pulls" of drives from them. Just 
ask for a "jumpered floppy drive that can send the ready signal out 
line 34". They had a ChinonFZ-357 dated '94 that was from an old pc. 
Paid $10 for it, changed 2 jumpers & I was back in business! Hope 
that helps.
