I was given a used Epson SD-680L 1.2MB 5-1/4" floppy drive that
I intend to install as the B: drive in a 80386 machine (AT&T
6386E WGS). Unfortunately I have no instructions for it and
when I attempt to physically install it, the autodiagnostics
routines that run on power up fail to note its presence and,
when attempting to access the 1.44MB 3-1/2" A: drive both drives
go on. Since all connectors seem to be compatible I believe the
problem to be related to the jumper settings on the drive.
There are four sets of jumpers on the drive board with current
settings as follows:
Pin Set SS1: 3 O O Pin Set SS3: D MH
2 O--O O O
|
1 O O O O
|
0 O O O O
S ML
Pin Set SS5: RC O Pin Set SS6: O--O S1
O O--O S2
|
DC O O O S3
If anyone can tell me the proper jumper settings for the
installation of this drive as outlined above, or can offer any
other insight into the solution of this problem, I would be
eternally grateful.
