I just happend to have two (what luck) of these drives at work in our striped/secondhand floppy pile:
Sony MPF420-1 Yes N/A Has jumper grid for settings. To make it work, short pins 5 and 10, 11 and 6, 8 and 7, and 13 and 12. Also see: illustrated configuration.
Once I coverd the HD disk's extra hole, (would not detect disk change or presense of hd disk's. Amiga disk's were fine) the drive works great as an amiga drive... I'm really happy, as the drive on my A1200 was dead and I'd been looking for a replacement. I had a look at some of the items on aminet about moding a PC drive and none of them worked. This drive though was great as the change of jumpers is all that's needed..
BTW: They came out of junked IPEX P200 pc's..
