Hi,
I know that i have to buy the Teac FD-235HF floppy drive to replace my old one. I found many on ebay BUT there is something that troubles me.
Ive seen the jumper block on the MPC60 bible post here and i cannot see it on the rear of the Teac floppy drive. Can somebody that has been through this process tell me whats going on? Should i buy the floppy? Or pay $70+ to get one?

Thanks.

ALX

PS: Here is the rear of 2 of the floppies ive found for my mpc but i do not see the jumper block!!!

I'm reasonably sure that the Teac FD-235HF drives have 2 have the jumper block on the back. The 4 series (Teac FD-235HF-4XXX) and earlier should have the jumper blocks on them if u search by part number. I had the same problem and was unable to find a work-around 4 the newer drives. Suerte.
