Just got 4 3.5" floppy drives and a Silicon Valley Computers IDE card circa 1987, things got a very small chip count.
But my question is this
2 of the drives
A Teac 235hf
A Sony MPF420-1
Both have jumpers on them that appear to control how the drive figures out what high density is, either via a sensor, or through the interface
Can i set the jumper to pull it from the interface, and set the bios on a newer machine to 720 and it will be a 720?
I ask because i would like to use them both as 720 without using a boat-load of stickers over the media sense hole
*Side node - There is currently a compaticard on ebay for like $2300 - These things that rare now?*
