Yes, TEAC 3.5" drives can be used as 720K drives.  You need a PC or PC/XT
to be able to hook it up and use it.  You need DOS 3.2+ and a different
connector on the cable.  I have used the TEAC FD-35F-03-U without problems.
But, these floppies will not work attached to AT computers.  The pinout
connections are wrong.  No other details available.

For PCs, the drive is always selected as D1.  The cabling determines the
actual drive selected.

<   I do not have any idea of what the other pins are. Please help me .....

Since your model number is a little different, I can't help with the other
positions.
