hi all,
        can any one tell me how to connect up a teac BD55R 5 1/4" floppy drive
to my atari st for use with pcditto.I especially need to know what jumpers to
set and if any pull down resisters need removing or adding.I have the cable
connected up right but when ever i try reading or writing to the drive i get
the error message 'drive b not responding or someother message,i've noticed
that the drive light comes on but that the heads don't seem to move.Hope
someone can help me.
my cable is connected as follows:-

        atari                 51/4"
