Hi how do i set to df1:? thanks.

[amigaguy00]

ok the drive is a Teac fd-23f-114-u it has 6 vertical jumper slots from top ms,ir,ry,dc,d1,d0  jumpers on ir,ry,dc,d0

yeah i tried that but still no good :-?

[amigaguy00]

no good changing the jumpers,maybe the drive cable when i disconnect the internal drive the external works and is detected as df1: so can't be the jumpers? and have df0:unreadable due to the internal  been disconnected. :headwall:

230 watt psu, somebody i spoke to said it may be the cia chip could this be possible knowing it does work when i disconnect the internal drive.

could having the cdrom/dvd drives on different drive lables have effect on the floppy drives ie pc0: etc.
