Many floppy drives are equipped with jumpering, on rear/lateral/bottom side.

Here you are some examples that will help in recognizing your drive, :ambulance:
and properly reporting it to the customer support.


Many floppy drives, when connected to a machinery,
blink (access led) softly and continuously even with no read/write access.
This behaviour is called polling and you need
to report it to the customer support.
