I thought the attached message from 'comp.periphs.scsi' might be
of interest given the recent discussion of Teac SCSI floppy 
drives.  I found of particular interest the note at the end of the 
article mentioning the Sun Common SCSI Architecture mailing list 
and the availability of a Teac device driver.

Best regards,

    Well at long & dear last, my Teac Scsi Floppy arrived.

    It seems that I have a different version of the TEAC FDH-235JS SCSI
 floppy than the hardware spec (both JS & HS) . What I want to do is
 put it in auto density sense as mentioned in the SCSA driver Readme
 (see below).
    The problem is that there is a new row of shorting blocks which are
 undocumented. These are at the back beside the power connector & are
 labelled from front to back:

            AC AE IR RY D2 D1 D0

                            : The factory config was AE & D0 shorted.

    So, does anybody know the blocks to set for auto density sense mode
 on the 235JS?
    Does anybody know what all the blocks configure? There are the User
 settable blocks, as well:

        EJC J H G F LEV HDS STL

                          : PAR, MON are the only two documented in the
 hardware specification.
    And finally, has anybody got a copy of the "FC-1-01 Software
 Specification" out of Teac?
