yo all,

now this is good news, the charming Davideo sent me a Teac FD-235F 4161,
so plug it in and no go, did a bit of reading and all the miggy sites say the FD-253F is a simple jumper setup to work with the miggy, it shows the settings as having 3 rows of pins and then pin A to E going up, the FD-235F that i have here only has four pins, well after a LOT of searching i discovered there are LOADS of different types of FD-235F drives, some with no jumpers, different densities etc, then i found this http://www.rabayjr.com/Download/Teac%20FD235HF.pdf
Please can we get this available to the community as it could help many miggy users in the world, basically any FD-235F floppy drive with jumpers can be used as a replacement internal or external Amiga floppy drive without any mods just jumper placement.

once i changed the jumpers on this FD-235F 4161 the drive now works flawlessly!! and you can still buy this drive new for £3.00 each plus shipping:-D

thanks again Dave




cheers, JuvUK

Great news!!!! :)

And where it's possible to buy at this price?

They are new drives?

Thanks
 
Awesome stuff, I'll need one soon - thanks if you can fine the £3 link that would be awesome :thumbsup:

PS, I have a couple of PeeCee FDD's here - I'll be checking them tonight in case I have some gold dust there!
 
I hope they've got plenty of stock. At this rate they're going to need them :thumbsup:

Dave G :cool:
 
I'd like to see an expression on the sellers face when he starts selling items nobody normaly wants... at amazing rate. BTW will they work as HD units or DD only?
 
@Thread

When Juvvy finds the linky dinky, is it worth putting together a group buy and see if we can get the costs/shipping down?

I'd be down for 3 units maybe? I think Prowler @ EAB would probably want a few (I could get his as I don't think he uses Amibay)

Steve.
 
sorry guys, i got distracted by hacking some facias last night (trying to finish the tower before the show!) i will try and remember to do this tonight.
I believe Zetr0 bought 3 from ebay last night for a tenner:thumbsup:
 
@Juvies

actually - as you know.... err.... the thing is.... I was 'umming and arrring about should I get that or just get this A2000 SCSI disk sorted out - that I kinda forgot.


@thread

A group buy is a great idea, start a thread and see how many peeps are interested (I would be looking for 3 at the right price)

remember the more you get the better price you should be able to get the drives at =)
 
At £3 each or thereabouts, I'll take three myself. Always useful to have spares!
 
@Juvvie

We've started something here between the two of us :D

The seller of these drives is going to have a :D on his face when the orders start arriving :thumbsup:

Dave G :cool:
