I'm trying to repair an audio sampler (Akai S-1100) for a friend as
his disk drive stopped working, but I can't figure out the jumper
settings. Unfortunately it's not a standard PC setup.

The existing drive was a Teac FD-235HF (model 270), and he's taken
another FD-235HF (a different model version, this one being 4291). The
jumpers are marked differently and are not the same amount either.
I've looked up Teac's website for info, but you need to be an engineer
to understand any of that stuff!

Anyway, this was the setting of the "old" (and broken) model 270 which
came with the sampler and worked for years (meaning that the jumper
settings are of course correct):

x x HH0
x x 0P
x--x LH1
x x HH1
x x D1
x--x D0
x x FG


Now, here's the "new" drive's jumpers and markings:

x x E

x x D
| HA
x x C

x x B
| DS1
x x A


The jumpers for this model are explained at the follwing Teac website:

http://www.teac.co.jp/dspd/product/magnetic/jumper/fd_jumper.html

and:

And here for some additional overall info for those Teac drives:

Now, I've changed the default drive 1 (drive A on PCs) to drive 0 as
it should be for this sampler according to the following website which
explains what is needed for this sampler:

.... but it's still not working as it should, so could someone sort out
the confusion and tell me which jumpers to join in order to make the
"new" drive act as the "old" one?
