    Teac 360k FD-55BR 5.25" Floppy Drive Index sensor disable?

    This is technical nonsense. Stick to the music. Your info about E2 is to be verified and suspicious too. My question was about 1.2M drives you claimed many of them having such jumpers, not about a 360K drive's PCB that is on your picture.

    Teac 360k FD-55BR 5.25" Floppy Drive Index sensor disable?

    The 96 TPI drives are absolutely better "for preservation", e.g. reading 48TPI recorded diskettes becasue of their twice higher resolution, hence the ability to probe better the fat track protections, etc. Of course the analyzing device, being it human or firmare, will have to have in their algo...

    LASER External floppy drive

    Most probably those "old program files" the OP is tying to transfer are already available on the net? http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/

    LASER External floppy drive

    But unlike spreaded rumors your 3.5" UniDisk did not burn after your attempts. That's what I expected, too. Wayne, you have a real museum there. Thank you for helping me with logistic information throughout the years. That's known for several years but Steven had no UDC card(s) so the...

    LASER External floppy drive

    Is this related to the presence or absence of the 16 MHz crystal on the short card?

    LASER External floppy drive

    Why some of the UDC controllers with SMD QFP chip have the quartz crystal installed, others not?

    ADTPro - Bootstrapping menu option disabled/greyed-out and Send/Receive not working via audio.

    If you are using audio asciiexpress.net is several times better in terms of transfer speed https://asciiexpress.net/

    Then post a picture of your FDD's PCB. That may replace a thousand notes.

    Teac 360k FD-55BR 5.25" Floppy Drive Index sensor disable?

    Just cut E2 and see results, what makes you not doing it for several weeks?

    Teac 360k FD-55BR 5.25" Floppy Drive Index sensor disable?

    You are explaining me things I had already explained to you: I consulted the TEAC technical reference manuals in order to conclude the E2 strap will not help you with your problem. So far, unable to find any TEAC info about E0. I am not interested in grease...whatever it is at all. Heard only...

    Teac 360k FD-55BR 5.25" Floppy Drive Index sensor disable?

    E2 strap won't help you for sure.

    Teac 360k FD-55BR 5.25" Floppy Drive Index sensor disable?

    TEAC floppy drives' onboard MCU logic disables drives' data output when index pulses are missing. Use simpler floppy drives without processor logic for flippy diskettes, I usually have such selected drives for my Quadlinks. I am pretty sure there is no jumper that disables that functionality on...

    Bill Gates really did claim that the 640K barrier was due to his decisions - Is there any other actual evidence that this was not the case?

    Joshi's mimicking of warm reboot is highly noticeable and inefficient because the virus bypasses BIOS code at all and invokes int 19h. Probably the same is valid for all DOS viruses that "survive" warm restart.
