Drive compatibility

Amstrad CPC needs "Ready" signal from drive otherwise it will display "Disc Missing" message. "Disc change" is not used.

Working

  • Panasonic JU-256, HD drive

Non-working

  • TEAC FD235HF-217U, has "Disk change"-signal on pins 33-34 instead of "Ready"
  • TEAC FD235HF-240U, as above
