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 !

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!
