I am trying to rescue an IBM PS/2 Model 80 (8580-A21) that uses the standardish 34-pin floppy drive connector with power. I have already replaced the CMOS battery, but now I need to boot a reference disk, and update the CMOS settings to get it working. As usual, the OEM floppy drive that it has seems shot (I've already cleaned the heads), and I might try to do a repair of the capacitors some time, but in the interim, I'd like to use a Gotek floppy emulator that I have to get something going.
According to this site, it is possible to use a standard floppy drive with the PS/2 if you just use a conventional floppy cable and power the drive off the PSU with a molex to floppy power adapter. However, the site mentions the need to change jumper settings on the standard floppy drive to get it to work properly. I know the Gotek has some jumper settings as well.
Basically, does anyone know what jumper settings need to be used in order to make a standard floppy drive work on a later-model IBM PS/2 Model 80?
