Re: floppy jumpers

2006-05-21 by esynthesist

OK so I checked my samplers and only one of them has a TEAC drive.
Unfortunately it's an FD-235-HF-5429, not an A-series.
Mine has only two jumpers :-)

Anyway here's some more information on all these drives.

I hope someone on this group is willing to post the jumpersettings 
for EMAX.
