Using a NEC FD1157C Drive (5,25") with the CPC...

[GUNHED]

EDIT: Problem solved - works now :-)


Hello everyone,

I would like to use a NEC FD1157C drive (5.25") on my CPC, but something isn't working.

I was able to format a disk, but it wouldn't read it afterwards. The disk works on other drives, so that's not the problem.

It's not the Drive Select either (formatting was possible), and I think I set the Ready jumper correctly. Here are the jumper assignments:

EDIT2: This Jumper configuration works...

VS: No
M1: Yes

VC: Yes

DX0: No
DX1: No
DX2: No
DX3: Yes
MX: No
MON1: Yes
MON2: No
MON3: No
USE1: No
USE2: Yes

DCG1: Yes
DCG2: No

LM10: Yes
LM11: No
LM20: Yes
LM21: No

HDE1: No
HDE2: Yes
DEN1: No
DEN2: No
DEN3: No

Attached is the documentation on jumper assignments and the drive...

EDIT3: Just got no idea if VC is needed?
