Thanks for the part numbers I have loads of the TEAC 235HF Lying around here and can get Them for minuscule prices At weired stuffâ they roll in every day If you could tell a novice computer Geek like myself what i would Have to do to make it work I'd be all over trying to accomplish The work and mod them. If I could mod them to work with Emax I'd give em away to those that needed them once working . Those that I have Have the DS jumper settings as well Not too concerned with form factor Being I've torn my chassis up already Installing the PCD anyway. As far as Jammie listing part numbers to slim floppies I do t recall her (her? I thought it was a him, sorry) ever listing them but have heard her state she 'does this for a living etc etc' and is reticent in giving up any technical details and part numbers because she felt those of we DIY types might not pay her or Ted for there mods. Now granted I'm all for paying for Someone for their mod work, especially if they did a lot of research on their own and worked hard to obtain the information and have NO day job to support their income then yes, I can understand in wanting to keep information to ones own special mods proprietary. But so far no one save for Jammie and Route 66 have made reference to them doing this for a living and if I remember correctly this is a forum to which we are supposed to work together to share technical information, not berate each others intelligence or know how when some of us ask technical questions and others don't want to give up the Information because they think it might take a few coins out if their pockets. So not to tangent but again to make a point I digress: I've been driving Studebakers since high school here in California and have cross referenced part numbers and made lists so that people could go down to the local parts store and pick up a rotor or brake shoe or a universal joint etc. It took me years to figure out what would work.because I turned wrench on them everyday and used the old books and crossed them to the new books until they were obsolete. When I was done, I gave the cross ref list to the folks in the drivers clubs so they too could have this information. Why give it away rather than sell it ? Cause its a hobby, and as a tech wrench in that hobby and dealing with rare and obscure cars (and synthesizers!) I am here to help keep really cool old cars and synths functional and to me helping others achieve that's enough payback in the world. I have a day job and I don't need to charge people for information and figure the gesture will somehow come back to me like your just giving all those parts numbers did.

But the 235HF series varies widely and STILL requires specific settings to work, so is not a "drop-in" replacement, per se.
