I have 2 FD-2000 3 1/2 floppy drives one I bought from someone that sold his equipment but that mechanism just quit working all together, wouldnt read or format. I used my first FD-2000 that has the later revision of the Teac mechanism and I found 3 mods so I tried those on an *unaltered Teac* this mechanism most of the time works fine but at times it always seems to have a lot of read/write errors and always reports bad tracks. I tried these disks on my working Teac in my other FD-2000 and it didnt have any errors and worked just fine. I thought I could learn something from this and its awesome I have at least been able to use it but its just too error prone, which makes me thing I havent really found all of the mods CMD had to make to the teac mechanism. Does anyone here know of those Teac mods for the FD-2000? If so I could send a jpeg image of the mods I have found to make the Teac work. I figured out the mod for sensing a disk change but if that isnt working right would that cause lots of read/write errors etc? Anyway I appreciate any pointers or suggestions, but for the most part it kind of works at least, yay. Again im referring to the Creative Micro Designs FD-2000 that is the upgrade from the earlier 1581 3 1/2 that will format the usual smaller capacity and it is capable of formatting High Density.
