Hi all,
I've got an old Teac 3.5" drive (in 5.25" mount) with jumpers set as Drive 1
that I want to install in my TRS-80 Model 4P. Tried to tackle installing it today, but was
unsuccessful. Supposedly the TRS-80 Model 1, 3, and 4 machines will read / write to older
3.5" drives with jumpered drive select. The 4P's drive cable is card edge only,
so tried using a PC drive cable hooking up the original 5.25 drive and 3.5 drive using
both the cable's end and middle jacks. The 4P wouldn't recognize either drive in
any position.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Maybe it's due to the wire twist found on PC
floppy cables? I'm about at my wits end trying to find a way to transfer TRS-80 DSK
files from PC to 4P.
Thanks,
David
