More info?)
The reason I am interested in this card is that I have a number of floppy
disks from when I owned a TRS-80. The TRS-80 FDC (I think it was a Western
Digital 1771) used a different DAM (data address mark) than the IBM FDCs. I
think I remember reading that with some of the old IBM style FDCs the DAM
can be selected.
I'll probably just have to insert the card in a 386 DX computer I have lying
around and play with the jumpers one at time.
