Teac FD-235HF A291 on any amiga 2 drive compatable
This is a simple instruction on how to modify the Teac FD-236HF Drive for use on the Amiga and still give 2 disk drive support.
I did this for my amiga 2000.  Hope this helps some people |

That's not a very thorough modification if you have to bend up the ready pin.
Seems you're taking diskchange from there and diverting it to pin2, but not getting the ready signal to pin34 in any way. |

Not sure where to get Ready from. It seems to work well for desktop applications.
Games seem to be more picky. |

If you are Doing a lot of Games on your Amiga You will need to do the following to get the Ready Signal working.
To make this drive completely compatible I Ran a Wire From pin 30 to a piece of solid copper wire and inserted in directly into the unused Pin 34 (Unused do to my bending the pin up) spot on the ribbon Cable. this made the drive function 100% and allowed it to work with 2 or more drives installed. |
