I once had a FZ-357A that would detect HD floppies, send the correct DriveID to the Aniga, but eventually would not slow down to 150rpm. End of story: pin1 on the cable was broken. It needs to be grounded for the drive to work in HD mode.

As an internal unit it works correctly, both high and low. It must be a signal that is missing from the outer box itself. I'm going to look at it with other external boxes.
