Does anybody know where I can find definite information on the jumper settings for Chinon FB354-A and FB354-E 880k floppy drives? These are being used in an A2000 with the standard-issue Amiga floppy controller cable. Ever since I bought the FB354-A new, I haven't been able to get the system to recognize and read from both. The FB354-A has one row with three pins, and the E has two rows of three pins. I've tried every possible combination, and in every case the second floppy light either comes on and stays on, or never comes on at all. In neither case will the system read anything from the second drive. And when I put anything in FD0 the system reads it OK but also puts an FD1:???? icon on the desktop. Grrrr! The system works fine otherwise, and I know the floppy cable is OK. All I want to do is set the FB354-A as FD0 and the FB354-E as FD1 and leave it the heck alone forever. Honest! I'll weld the cover on the damned thing and never ever take it off again if I can get this fixed!! (Yeah, right ....) TIA Rob Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

the drive is shipped defaulted for dfo....looking from the back, center and right pins are jumpered to df0: there is a jumber on the motherboard that has to be moved if intstalling df1: motherboard part # 312723 installed jumber marked J301, right side of drive connector on motherboard motherboard part #380705-01 install jumber in J36 located just below the power supply red mark on ribbon cable matches to pin one of the drive. This is from instruction from a Chinon fb-354 I just bought.... <rob_leeland@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:8vi6nu$osn$1@nnrp1.deja.com... > Does anybody know where I can find definite information on the jumper > settings for Chinon FB354-A and FB354-E 880k floppy drives?

Hi the chinon drive is shipped defaulted for dfo....looking from the back, center and right pins are jumpered to df0:there is a jumber on the motherboard that has to be moved if intstalling a df1: drive motherboard part # 312723 installed, jumber marked J301, right side of drive connector on motherboard.....motherboard part #380705-01, install jumber in J36 located just below the power supply red mark on ribbon cable matches to pin one of the drive. This is from instruction from a Chinon fb-354 I just bought.... I found a old floppy that I had and it has the six jumper connectors you spoke about... the bottom center and left was jumpered on this drive....I think this drive was in as a df1: at one time.... Hope this has helped.. dan <rob_leeland@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:8vi6nu$osn$1@nnrp1.deja.com... > Does anybody know where I can find definite information on the jumper > settings for Chinon FB354-A and FB354-E 880k floppy drives?
