As requested by Lord Zetr0, with my crude descriptions of pin outage

The wiring on the 1st pic is the only way I could get the drive to behave like a normal Amiga drive ie. click, click, click, recognise disks change and actually read, not quite sure if its right thought.

DC was put to pin 2
Ready was put to pin 34
The drive ID jumper was put to 0

Just will not write correctly, either says "Can't find cylinder 0" or I got to format to the end of a floppy and it spat out "Can't find cylinder 79" I think it was :P

The 2nd row of jumpers don't line up with the letters for some odd reason, so they may not make any sense

The IBM part number reveals very little, all it brings up in Google is IBM 1.44Mb 3.5" floppy, I would assume its some rebranded drive and then IBM stuck a sticky on or something.
