[comp.sys.mac.hardware] PLI Turbo Floppy 1.4 Meg Disk Drive

smh@cbnewsm.att.com (s.m.henning) (03/13/91)

In an attempt to get compatibility with MSDos machines, I recently got a
PLI Turbo Floppy 1.4 Meg Disk Drive.  The ads and the store where I
purchesed it quoted 400k and 800k (Mac) compatibility and 720k DOS 
compatibility.

When I got it, it had no manual and was not compatible with a 40Meg Jasmine.
It is compatible with a 20Meg Jasmine but not with 400k or 800k Mac disks
nor with 720k DOS disks.

Is there some trick to get it to work with these disks?  When I called
PLI they sent me a manual for an older drive with a "push to eject" button.
Mine is "Turbo Floppy Auto Eject 10100, PLI 283202, 2/14/91".

Cheers,  Steve Henning
