Hi everyone!

I just bought a 5" 320k floppy drive a TEAC FD-55BR-634-U to read some old floppy disks.

The vogosdrivers-site looks great and has a lot of documentation about these drives here: http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1891&menustate=0

The text-invetory file lists:
5FD0020A FD55BR-xxx (5.25" 360kb Floppy Disk Drive) Specifications and jumper setting information

However, unfortunately, file 5FD0020A.pdf is missing from the linked archive.

The page suggests to register here in this forum and report the issue to the user "SquallStrife". However if one just registered, one cannot send PMs.

Would someone be so kind to forward my message?

Thank you 😀

Welcome to Vogons 😀

No doubt SquallStrife or the archive file author, @Horun, will correct the omission shortly.

Meantime I've attached a copy of the missing file below...

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for 😀 Thank you for the message forward and the file!

Btw: for the FD55BR the jumper definitions seems to differ between versions [0xx, 1xx] and [3xx, 4xx, 5xx] of the drive. Mine however is a 6xx which isn't documented. It does look like the jumpers match the definition of the previous version. However if someone has dedicated documentation for 6xx, maybe it could be included in the archive.

Cheers WolverineDK for the headsup 😀

I'll add it to my list of things to do, if Horun doesn't get to it first!

Also, there is an ongoing thread here: VOGONS Driver Library ...that I am subscribed to, and will get notifications if a reply is posted there.
