Hi,
I just tried upgrading my Teac FD-235HF 1.44MB drive to a 2.88 FD-235J that I have had laying around for a while. I swapped the drives out and set SW2:1 on and SW2:2 on on the CCIV. Booted up, drive seems to seek okay (light comes on, makes noise) but when I try to access a disk get a fail error. If I put in a boot disk it seeks for a bit (drive spins, access light steaduly on) but then nothing happens and the system boots off of the HDD.
What I know/have tried: the CCIV, and computer are setup correctly. With the 235HF everything works fine. System boots, reads, etc. The disks I am using are fine (read in the 235HF drive as well as my other systems wiht no issues).
I have the 235J connected on the farthest connector of a twisted cable using a CardEdge to 34pin converter (same one I use on the 235HF) (i.e. the connector after the twist). The other connector has a 1.2MB drive which works fine irrelevant of the 235HF or 235J being installed. The cable is connected to the P2 connector on the CCIV.
I am using CCIV BIOS 1.05 which I believe is the latest.
CCIV Switch Settings:
SW1:
1ff
2ff
3ff
4ff
5n
6ff
7ff
8ff
SW2:
1n
2n
3ff
4n
5ff
6ff
7ff
8ff
The exact info on the drive is:
Teac FD-235J 3631-U5
P/N: 19307336-31
I've also checked the jumpers on the 235J and as far as I can tell they are in default position and the drive is set as DS1.
Any help/ideas? TIA!
