TEAC FD-55B setting for Kaypro /84 use

[brain]

I have some working TEAC FD-55B units I want to put in my K4/84. I have hooked them up and all looks good, but I am unsure of best jumper settings.

Help would be appreciated:


Should IU (head load on pin 4) or HL (head load on pin 4) be enabled?
Any reason to leave ML (motor running) on and have the motor run all the time?
What combination of IU/U0/U1/UR should I use? I tried IU+U0 thinking the light would be on only when the drive is running, but that's not true.
HS + MS or HM + MS? Neither seems to make any difference on the Kaypro
teac notes it ships the 55B with HS,DS0,IU,SM,and PM. I have DS0 (or DS1), HM, SM, and PM. The unit had ML strapped, but I removed it.

Hmmm, nothing. Oh well...

Jim, I assume that you have the jumper settings for the FD55 drive (general information) and that you've seen the Kaypro manuals on bitsavers.

What has me puzzled is why you're asking the question. It should be simple enough to figure out.

Also, do your 55B's have head-load solenoids? Some do.

Yep, looked at the 1984 1484-D technical guide.

Teac was not used on the machines, and thus there is no direct information. Of the rest of the guide, they essentially state the numbers of the pins on each drive type that should be strapped, not the function.
