I thought I had one of these drives but apparently not, so I can't help much. But yes, it sounds quite possible that it's a jumper, termination or cable issue, but there are more things in heaven and earth... ;-) I don't remember whether it was the DVI or not, but I remember a small problem

Hey Gang, It's amazing how much I have forgotten since 2014! With NEWDOS 5.05, using the F7 Cfg option from within NEWDOS, you can enable and set the delay factor using a UI I had added. This will not only change the delay factor for TPDD accesses, but also updates the "TS-DOS" MENU item

Hey Guys, I just realized that I never published the source assembly for NEWDOS. I will get that added to my Personal Libraries, along with the VirtualT IDE project files for building it. Ken On 3/29/20 1:19 AM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: On Sat, Mar 28, 2020 at 11:08 PM Tom Wilson

that overheated spot on the PCB looks iffy. there is a very good chance that the jumper setting didnt suit the cable, and other drive setting. You have to have the jumpers set up with respect to drive select and motor on/off. found the drive connector and jumper specs at archive.org

Hey guys I’m in the market to fit a second disk drive to my DVI, there’s slim pickings on eBay atm. But I saw this one, which is listed as working, but faulty. But I’m wondering if the “fault” isn’t actually just a jumper issue. Anyone have experience with these drives? I wasn’t able to find

FWIW I use a low profile 40pin ZIF socket in my M100 (plugged into the 'normal' socket); not only does it make plugging the cable in and out easier and damage to the pins less likely, but it also raises the cable a little bit and avoids that bend you're talking about. They do seem to be a
