I'm trying to use a TEAC-55F 5.25" drive with an old IBM AT board, with no success so far. I suspect a problem somewhere in the myriad of jumpers on this drive - does anyone know what jumper settings I should be using on a PC?

You know that the original IBM 5170 needs a special diagnostic disk to set up it's BIOS with drive settings etc?

That's irrelevant - it runs with 3.5" drives (which aren't BIOS supported on the AT) and the 5.25" drive has problems on newer machines. I'm struggling to see the relevance really - the problem is with jumpers on the drive, not the motherboard.
