Mitsumi D359T5
« on: March 07, 2009, 12:41:22 PM »
Are all Mitsumi D359T5 drives identical (interchangeable)?

I've come by two which I don't know if have been in amigas or pcs, so I wondered if they would work in my Amiga?

Having researched this a little I've found out that I need to change them from DS1 to DS0.

My original one says DS0 on the SMT jumper, the two new ones says DS1.

No, I've found a german site that says how to use them as DD drives, but I swear that the old one I have has worked in my A4000D without modifications, despite that it says that it's a 4000T drive (could be one that needs the adapter board).

The reason why I don't use it now is that it doesn't detect disk changes.

I bet that it already is modified.

The only difference I can spot when opening them is the DS1/DS0 thingy.

DSK RDY and DSK CHG are identical. And no rewireing has been done.

I'll test the drive soon. I just need to find a HD disk :-)
