Holding them both may engage the auto-format function which will erase all content. In use, this drive allows you to increment the bank during accesses but this may lead to data loss. The increment function appears to cause the change line to be toggled to signal to the controller a disk removal. The other emulator locks-out the increment/decrement during accesses. The casing itself differs from the other emulator, with a distinctive “step” shape, and the use of only three screws to secure the unit together. There was also the provision for branding and other button labels which are not provided. The step shape is clearly visible here – and may be an advantage when trying to shoehorn the device into non-standard floppy drive enclosures, although those often have non-standard interfaces as well.
Exposed at the rear are jumpers – some are labelled for drive select, and others are undocumented. There are also through holes unpopulated which are also for configuration by jumper. The 34 pin interface has the keying pin (pin 3) still in place (just like the other emulator I had), there’s no harm clipping this off for cables with the hole blocked. It’s probably a good time to note that this emulator does come with an 8cm CD (groan!) however, the tools provided are arranged arbitrarily, are poor and (some) improperly licensed. It also comes with manuals, although for a variety of versions of products which are not related whatsoever.
