I have been searching for a DISK1A floppy controller for my CompuPro 8/16 for almost 2 years until I recently purchased one on Ebay. I had to solder in 3 7805 regulators to convert the power for my system. I just got it to boot Concurrent CP/M 3.1 !! Here is a video: https://youtu.be/_huYgwB1p9A

I have been using a 8085/88 cpu but now I was hoping it would work with my CPU 286 board I got with the system but still no go :(
Here is a photo of the board. I don't see any jumpers to configure? The ROM on my DISK1A is 291B. It does seem to engage the drive when I press reset so I think the cpu is running?
