Well, perhaps the drives were taken out of working machines, but why were
they taken out?

--------
We have just acquired a couple of Fujitsu 2351A/AF MINI-DISK drives.
They have a 4-switch dip socket on them that does not seem to be documented.
What we need to know is how to specify how many bytes per sector but this
information is not given in the fuji manual and the info in the controller
manual (System Industries QDA-50) does not match.

Does anyone know how to specify the settings?

Also if someone could mail be a description of how the SMD interface works
I would be grateful.
Thanks.
