Hi all,
I've got this card which appears to support four floppy drives... I'm trying to find info on the switch & jumper settings but can't identify it. I've been through all the 16 bit ISA controllers on stason and haven't found a match.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks 😀

I watched this recently perhaps there is something on the video that can help you:
It has a ACC Micro 3201 FD controller chip with 8 DIP switch just like this one: https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/ACC_Micr … ctronics_KT-204. Your card does not have a BIOS chip so if the motherboard BIOS does not support 4 floppies then it will only work with 2 floppies (unless you load a device driver).
The jumpers are diff story and could not find anything similar in TH99

Weren't there some tape drives that connect to the FDC? Perhaps the 2nd is intended for one of those?

Thanks. I wasn't sure if the card has a BIOS or not so I guess that answers that question 😀
I've got another four floppy controller card that does work easily enough, but I was just curious after discovering this one too.

No problem, wished we could have found a manual. The floppy part switch should match up with that link I posted.. hopefully. You could always play around with J1 thru J4 and use DOS MSD to see if/how it changes the Com and LPT ports. J5 and J6 are the two that will either be easy or hard to figure out.

You could try to put the ACC Micro 3201 - BIOS on a network card.
