Teac 3" drive model FD-30A.
This drive is compatible with the CPC. I believe it is the same drive used inside the Einstein TC-01 computer.
Technical
The drive is single sided. It has direct drive for the disc motor like modern 3.5" drives.
It has a 34-way PCB edge and can be connected to the CPC with a suitable cable (use an old PC cable) or put inside a PC for transfering discs (in this case you will need an old floppy cable with both edge connectors and IDC connectors).
It has a standard 4-pin PC compatible power supply connector.
Jumper settings:
DS0 - Drive select 0 DS1 - Drive select 1 DS2 - Drive select 2 DS3 - Drive select 3 ML - ? MI - ? USI - ?
The drive has an edge connector.
From memory the drive LED changes colour when in use between red and green.
Pictures
Some of these pictures were taken from more of a side view, the reason is that the metal casing is reflective and you could see me and my camera in the picture. So I had to move a little to avoid this.
