  I'm haveing a few problems hooking up my 1.44 meg teac. I was wondering
if anyone could check some things for me. My problem is that i cant access
the HD mode of the drive but the DD is ok. (My setup is a mega, useing the
teac as drive B and a simple manual switch for changing HZ.)

What i've done so far:
1)Moved jumper on teac, setup is now jumpers at D0,and OP.
2)Took line 19, CLK, off the WD 1772 and the 8hz from the same.
3)Took line 39 off the shifter (right 40 pin chip?) for the 16hz.
4)Put a manual swith so that CLK and be choosen as 8 or 16hz.
Thats it....

Symptoms: Drive will not work in HD mode but will in DD mode.
          When formating, -8, or -6 is returned. (sector not found/ or
          seek error)

I'm lost as to what to do now. Every thing seems to check out. Since
some are using the same TEAC drive, i was wondering if anyone could double
check my settings.


Any help would be apreciated.
