Title: 3 1/2 drive from oberheim DPX-1
Post by: Synclavier on March 18, 2010, 01:54:59 PM
I checked my Oberheim DPX-1 and the 3 1/2 drive is a TEAC FD-135FN-50, can I use this one in the EMU II?

The Pins connected now is MS, D0, RY and FG. D1, D2, D3, IR and DC is not connected.

On the Emulator II Yahoo Group there is photo section, where somebody opened both the EII and DPX-1 and connected the 3.5 floppy drive from DPX-1 to the FD flat cable from EII... So I suppose it worked...

In the meantime I found a new teac 3 1/2 drive, the problem with the DPX-1 drive that it is very old and soldered on one wire.
