Might caused by jumper or the drive is out of order.
I have some info for the 6104 drive here:

But funny that you mention the problem with reading double-sided floppies.
I have had the same issue with the 6104 drive attached to a PC. Writing
was impossible, it resulted in completely unreadable tracks. After a long
time I finally found the problem: the terminating resistor pack was not
the right one. Instead of providing the usual pullup/pulldown pairs to the
individual inputs, it somehow left some inputs unterminated, and tied
other inputs together. After building a proper terminator (those DIL
220/330 ohm resistor packs are not easy to find and very expensive) all
problems went away.
