THX1138 · 24 April 2005, 22:10

Does anybody know how to configure the jumpers on the
back of this drive to act as DF0: ?

At the moment it will load at bootup with no problem,but if the
hardrive boots up instead,then the drive comes up as DF0:Unreadable !

RetroMan · 24 April 2005, 22:31

Should work without problems ?!?

Post your Jumper Config please ....

THX1138 · 24 April 2005, 22:37

XXX5X78
11X5X78

Do you understand this ?

RetroMan · 25 April 2005, 00:48

Uhm ....

Are those Jumpers marked on the board ? Like DS0, DS1, RY, etc. ???

THX1138 · 25 April 2005, 08:04

yeah............

3345678
1125678

11 = DS1
12 = DS0
33 = DS2
34 = DS3
55 = MM
66 = DC
77 = RDY
88 = TTL

At the moment DS1,MM,RDY,TTL are all jumpered !

RetroMan · 25 April 2005, 18:51

It´s set to be work as DF1

Set DS0 instead of DS1 !

THX1138 · 25 April 2005, 20:39

I already tried that and it done the same thing

Does it have anything to do with the jumper settings MM,DC,RDY,TTL ?

Jope · 25 April 2005, 20:57

You have to close DS0, MD, RDY and TTL/C-MOS ..

Very odd that it doesn't work for you.

THX1138 · 25 April 2005, 21:36

Jope.........Please can you confirm ?

3345689
1125789

12 = DS0
56 = MD
88 = RDY
99 = TTL

Jope · 25 April 2005, 21:55

Unfortunately I don't have a drive like that of my own for reference.

THX1138 · 25 April 2005, 22:38

When you turn the computer on with a disk in the drive,it will boot
from disk !

But if you turn the computer on with no disk in drive and wait for the hand
to come up and then put the disk in,it won't do anything ?

RetroMan · 25 April 2005, 23:27

Try setting DC for recognizing DiskChange ....

TjLaZer · 26 April 2005, 07:47

Connect J2 on the PCB for Disk Change to work.

THX1138 · 26 April 2005, 22:29

Hmmm......you cannot jumper DC & RDY at the same time ?

dirkies · 26 April 2005, 23:17

I assume no special DEVS drivers for floppy (for PC or so) are loaded?

You assume right !....Is there mean't to be ?

There is a micronik Zorro III board connected to this set up
if this makes any difference and also a buffered 4 way ide interface.

Overdoc · 30 April 2005, 20:09

The right jumper config is:

DS0, RDY, MM, TTL

So in your diagram it is 12, 55, 88, 99.
Should work then. If it doesn't there could be a jumper on the mainboard set wrong ( in case of Amiga-2000 )

THX1138 · 01 May 2005, 15:32

The Amiga is a 1200 by the way...........

Ok........i tried a Panasonic drive.,no jumpers on the back and this worked great !

So i took this out and put my Chinon FZ-354 in with Overdoc's settings,and still
it comes up with DF0:Unreadable.......I think this drive was from an A3000.would this make any difference ?

THX1138 · 01 May 2005, 15:52

If i hold the 2 mouse button down upon startup and select df0: as the boot device it will boot up ok !

Then,when it has booted to workbench,it shows the workbench disk in df0:

But when you eject the disk,the drive doesn't dissapear.

Also,it is not automatically polling (clicking)the drive to see if there is a disk in there or not ?

Overdoc · 02 May 2005, 00:47

hmmm, is it anEscom A-1200 ? ( labeled 'Amiga 1200' instead of 'Commodore 1200' )
