Hiya!
Some time ago I bought a Chinon FR-506 1.2MB fdd :
I can't get it to recognize disks, after I while DOS just throws the classic "general failure reading drive A:" ... now this drive has a number of jumpers on it and I am not certain it was used in a DOS/PC machine by the previous owner... tried searching but did not find anything useful, at least nothing I could use since my knowledge on 5.25" FDDs is very limited.
Can anyone here tell me what jumpers to set? Here are a couple of shots:
If I have confirmation that the drive is set-up correctly then I would know whether to keep it or bin it... it's the only floppy drive on my test 486 machine btw.
Thanks in advance for any info/help! 😊
