Emax

My friend and I recently modded a JM215A for a Teac slim floppy drive using
Ted's instructions:

*JM215A Modifications:

Bottom of Board
FDC Pin2 connects to ITX pin 11. Cut this trace near pin 11.
Connect FDC Pin2 to ITX pin 13 with insulated 30ga jumper / wire wrapping
wire.

ITX pin 4 jumper to FDC10

Top of Board
With board "right side up" so that "C1" screened on the board is readable
and away from you, there are 5 traces that run a diagonal.
Cut the 2nd one away from you.


*
However,  I am able to get the drive to power but, the Emax still does not
see the drive.  I still get the message "please insert floppy".

Might anyone know anything else that I am missing?

Regards,

-Scott

there....

Here are some pics of the JM215A that a friend and I modified:

http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/<http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/krunkwerke/6024390494/>
krunkwerke/6024390494/ <http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/krunkwerke/6024390494/>

at the moment, the drive powers but, the Emax is still displaying "Please
Insert Disk!".  Any ideas?  Everything tested accurately with the continuity
tester.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
