Re: floppy jumpers

2006-05-21 by esynthesist

You probably already know the meaning of the jumpers on the TEAC FD 
235 HF floppy drive and are just searching for the specific EMAX 
settings. I don't know if I have a TEAC drive in one of my EMAX 
samplers - I'll check it out.

Anyway, here is the meaning of the different jumpers on that drive. I 
found it on some AKAI MPC forum:

A1 - B1 DS0 Drive select 0 
B1 - C1 DS1 Drive select 1 
A2 - B2 DS2 Drive select 2 
B2 - C2 DS3 Drive select 3 
C3 - D3 REN disable auto-recalibration 
D3 - E3 ACD(a) disable auto-checking 
E3 - F3 ACD(b) disable auto-checking 
D2 - E2 RY34 Ready output on Pin 34 
E1 - E2 DC34 Disk Change output on Pin 34 
E1 - F1 DC2 Disk Change output on Pin 2 
G1 - G2 HA density set automatically 
F1 - G1 HI2 density set by HD IN on pin 2 
F1 - F2 HO2 density (HD OUT) output on pin 2 
F3 - G3 IR LED on when: (Drive Select AND Ready)

FYI: the following are the settings for the AKAI MP60 :-):
-> SET jumper DS0, HI2, RY34, ACD(b), and FG
-> But these settings are NOT for EMAX. 

If I have a TEAC drive in one of my EMAX, I'll post the jumper 
settings.
