[comp.sys.ibm.pc] HELP: JVC 360K Floppies on AT Clone

tfra@ur-tut.UUCP (Tom Frauenhofer) (06/16/87)

[Et tu, line-eater?]

I have an AT clone that I have assembled myself over the past year.  I have
recently obtained an Everex AT Hard/Floppy controller (before I was using my
old XT controller).  It works OK with the 1.2 Meg drive that I purchased,
but neither of my JVC's function.  

There are several jumpers on the JVC drives themselves.  Is there any way
I can re-arrange them to make the drives work on my system?  If not, I guess
I'll have to shell out for a new 360K drive, but if there is a way not to...

Thanks in advance!

My brain was fried when I looked at the floppy.  It's not a JVC, it's a 
Shugart SA455.  The revised article should read:
