I have a couple of these in PCs and they work just fine. Haven't tried
one in an -11. I have two FD-55GFVs as RX33s in an -11 and they work
just fine.
Things to do:
1) Make sure you're supplying 12V; the 5.25in floppy won't work without
it, but the 3.5in will.
2) Look at the Teac Web site for installation instructions:
http://www.teac.com/dsp/catalog.html#floppy
3) Let us know if you get it to work--especially what happens with the
3.5in drive!
