THE SITUATION:
We are interested in the floppy drive emulator with the networking option.
Our troubled system is an Agie 100D wire machine with legacy FDD set up as Drive 0 and Drive 1. We may also be interested in resale to several other companies with this same and similar equipment.
Please provide all the information and pricing required to order all components.
Our original equipment:
2 drives connected with straight 34 pin cable. (like the standard FDD cables but without the twisted section normally on dual drives). The drives are Panasonic JU-253-011P and JU-253-013P (best I can tell is the last three digits determine the drive 0 or drive 1 configuration). These are 720k DSDD drives and there are no settings (bios or physical) we may adjust on the system.
We would like:
2 Floppy drive emulators setup to work as the originals and with a network setup for connecting to a PC on our existing network.
OUR ANSWER:
Our system would work, if a regular disk works in both this machine and, in a regular PC. For example, if you use the disk on the equipment, can you then go to your PC and see the files just by going to MY COMPUTER and then the A drive?
If so, you shouldn’t have any problems. Just be sure to let us know all the info you sent when ordering.
Were you able to spec this out for the Agie 100D? I am in need of the exact same product. I currently have one from Richpeace SFDR-1 but can not figure out the jumper setting. Would you be willing to share those?

Yes the drive works great.

For drive 0 (drive A) we had to set the dip switches in this order to work fully:
1=on
2-off
3-on
4-off
5-on
6-on
7-off
8-off
