Re: replace floppy?

2004-02-08 by tbiggz

from what I understand you can only use the FD235HF-A529 (at least 
for the EIII). the others have a fixed ID that is not the correct one 
and will never work.

From speaking to Teac, the A529 has been discontinued and replaced by 
the C529.  I don't know much else as I haven't ordered mine yet.


FROM TEAC:
"This floppy FD235HFA529 has been replaced with FD235HFC529 which is 
alittle bit different and does not have as many jumpers on it.

"You can check with a couple of our Distributors who placed orders 
with us on what we had left on the FD235HFA529. 
Arrow Electronics - (888) 427-2250
Bell MicroProducts - (800) 800-1513

"To find out more information on the replacement floppy, I would 
suggest you talk to someone in our Tech Support Division.  You may e-
mail them at www.Dspdtsg.com  or you may call them at (323) 727-4860.
