Okay, perhaps you didn't notice that I had not one, but two of these cards--and they work.
Take a look at the way this card is set up. It matches one of mine; that is, the BIOS is set at CA00:0000 (use DEBUG as described above).
If you don't see that, then most probably (a) you have a hosed EPROM or (b) the EPROM is in its socket incorrectly. Look at the image above, make sure your EPROM is oriented the same way and that all pins are in the socket securely--i.e. none are bent.
If no luck there, you probably need a new EPROM with the image burned into it correctly.
Neither does mine.
Do you have any extra cards with 27256 EPROMs with some valid content? A 27128 or 2764 EPROM might work in a pinch. What we're after is to see if the card decoding logic is squirrely or if the EPROM content itself is zapped.
The DTK card takes a standard floppy cable (A:=twist, B:=flat) and standard PC-configured drives (i.e. second drive select). Your jumperless Teac is hardwired that way.
Your problem is that the add-on BIOS isn't present. You can verify this by using a utility such as Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk to see if it will read a high-density floppy (it doesn't use the BIOS for access). There are also a couple BIOS additions that run as installable device drivers, rather than ROM-based BIOS additions.
I had the exact same symptoms - IE a HD drive apparantly locked into Low Density mode no matter what I tried.
Turned out to be that with a 360K and a HD drive on the same cable, the density select line on the CABLE was being pulled low by the 360K drive. Solved by putting a strip of masking tape over pin 2 of the edge connector on the 360K drive. This pin SHOULD be N/C on a low-density drive, but isolating it worked for me!

That applies to 5.25" drives, as the density select is needed, since the drive can't tell the difference between HD and DD media on insertion. However the vast majority of 1.44M 3.5" drives are configured to use media-select (i.e. the extra hole on the left side of an HD floppy) and pin 2 is NC.
