Hello
I am looking for any assistance with trying to figure this strange issue out.
Just got this drive and it is not reading any 1.2MB disks. It can read 360K disks with no issues.
The troubleshooting steps I have done are as follow.
Verified drive B in bios is set to 1.2MB (Drive A is a 1.44MB drive. Cable is also terminated at this drive)
New HD disks are only read as 360K and will not format to their 1.2MB size
Checked this site: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=36942 and verified the only closed jumpers were:
DS1, MS1 and D-R
I also tried only having these jumpers closed as well: DS1, D-R and MS2 but the results were exactly the same.
The drive itself looks to be in good shape and heads look to be in great condition.
Not sure what else I can try as this model should be able to read 1.2MB HD floppies.
Thank you
