Once again I'm attempting the impossible ::)
I have a Mitsubishi MF503B-312M 5 1/4" drive I'm trying to write floppies with on a PC but can't get it to even format with Windows.
There's a PDF on the wiki for the drive manual but I've no idea what jumpers need to be set. Any ideas?
Hi RetroRepair !
Please provide a link to the before mentioned manual. In the meantime the following link could be usefull:

Update: This could be what you are looking for:
MF501B-3 Jumper Settings (I believe these settings are valid for MF501B, MF503B and MF504B

Here's the manual:

Now I read it, I'm not even sure it's a 1.2mb drive :'(
Hi RetroRepair !
Looks like it is a 720kb drive. This is ideal for ZX-Spectrum so don't get rid of it.

Well I have no interest in that so if anyone wants a Speccy drive let me know ::)
One day I'll get the right one!
