DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Hmm, Bob its obvious with the eject button its an Atari targeted drive. If it has no jumpers I would think its made with the proper settings selected. Does it not work? Have you tried it on other machines?

The bottom metal bracket is not a part of the drive, possibly under it there are solder-jumpers.

This is a quite common late ST FDD SONY MP-F11W.

I suppose if he looked here, he might find a switch to configure the drive, particularly drive select 0 -3:

Yes, the DS0..3 switch is where @czietz showed.

I have two of these:

But don't like them, as they read only 82 tracks.
