Hi,
No, the Tekmate motherboard supports 1.44 drives and I'm pretty sure that
those are the original Teac drives, which are capable of 1.44.
I did try 700kb disks too, though. Anyway, puzzling and I'll investigate
further someday. Until then a cheap USB floppy emulator works fine.

The 2402A and other gear from that era may use the older style 720/800 k
FDDs and disks. It could be that you've been trying the later "HD" 1.44 MB
drives, which supposedly should work and handle the older disks too, if set
up right, but maybe not. I've not had much luck in trying the newer FDDs in
old gear - that's why I keep every old-style one salvaged from stuff like
this, just for maintenance. Years ago, I had saved some 800k ones from old
PCs, and found even they didn't work in my old Data I/O programmers, but I
found some info online about modifying them (solder jumper settings) to be
backward compatible to 720k.
