Connect fdd Panasonic

Hello, All Good day! I have a Panasonic JU-475-4, I want to connect it to the Pro instead of the MC5311. There are jumpers on the panas: (sorry, I couldn’t attach the picture) LA, DA, HA, UA OO, OC, RDY, NDO MS, EX, GX MX, AX, DD, TH PH, NH 1M BX TM Well, DS1-4, that’s clear, but maybe someone knows what else needs to be closed/opened? P.S. I found a description of the jumpers, but there are still some confusion, if necessary, I can post.

Hello Den Den> I have a Panasonic JU-475-4, I want to connect it to Pro instead of MC5311.. I'm trying to switch such a drive to 720 kb mode. ended in failure.

Hello Zhizh Zhi> issuing the CAT command What's wrong with ADS?

From Alexander Kozhemyachenko To All 17 September 2006

Hello Southern Bear Sou> Why is ADS bad? What if there is nothing to download it from? MC 5311 is no longer working, but Panasonic is not yet...? I have nothing against it anymore :)

Hello, The Exploited Initially, as I understand it, the jumpers were positioned so that the drive would work on a PC like a 1.2M floppy drive (have you checked its operation on a PC?). So that he makes money from Specky, you need to reduce the disk rotation speed from 360 to 300 rpm. To do this: - connect the drive to Spec, insert some recorded floppy disk and try read the catalogue. The drive must screw its heads and spin the disk, and TR-DOS as a result, track 0, sector 9 will give an error. If this happens, then check connection (or the drive is still faulty) - when giving the CAT command to make the disk spin, start pushing the jumpers across alone. If after poking the disk does not start spinning slower (and this the change is clearly visible), then return it to its original position and change next. First of all, check the MS (motor speed) jumper - if it doesn’t help, connect pin 2 of the drive to the common wire and change it again all jumpers. The speed should decrease anyway ;) And I would like to look at the descriptions of the jumpers. Post it or send it to me by mail. P.S. I apologize if I said basic things.

Hello Zhizh try to click the wires (5 pieces) going to the servomotor board to the ground, (!) having previously excluded those of them that provide power :) usually you need to solder two extreme (from one of the edges) but options are also possible :)

Hello Den I apologize for not answering for a long time - dacha :D Now in order: 1. The flop works on PC, I checked. 2. Description of jumpers for Zhizh Jumper Default Meaning DS1 OFF Drive select 1 DS2 ON Drive select 2 DS3 OFF Drive select 3 DS4 OFF Drive select 4 MX OFF Drive is always selected UA OFF LED on with in use DA ON LED on with drive select LA OFF LED on with latched function of in use HA OFF LED on with drive select and in use MS OFF Drive motor on with drive select PH ON Dual mode (positive high density) NH UNUSED Dual mode (negative high density) BX OFF Dual speed AX OFF Mode select with latched by drive select 1M OFF Single mode (1 MB only)TM ON Termination resistor RDY OFF Standard ready DC ON Disk change 1 (reset by step) NDO OFF Disk in DO OFF Disk out DD OFF Disk change 2 (reset by drive select) TH OFF J1 line 34 not gated by drive select GX ON Enable true ready (read data) EX OFF Disenable true ready (index) 3. Switching all the jumpers did not lead to anything (the flop is connected to Spec, TR-DOS gives its error) 4. Any manipulations with the motor wires lead to the fact that the motor does not turns on. 5. I'm inclined to agree with caro on the impossibility of forcing this flop work at 720k P.S. I'll try to throw line 2 to the ground and I'll write what happens.

Hello Den Den> 3. Switching all the jumpers did not lead to anything (the flop is connected Den> to Spec, TR-DOS gives its error) trdos may also generate an error in the case of a dead, old floppy disk or due to untuned flop. the speed test doesn't care about that

From Victor Ronin To All 19 September 2006

Hello, The Exploited in my opinion, by ear and touch the switching from 360rpm to 300rpm - I have never used any special tests. PS // in general, the jumpers PH, NH, BX, together with the clicking of the second leg, should seem help (judging by the description), and maybe even NH UNUSED + BX OFF will turn on 720k...
