Check the rail guides. Anything hanging on them would be a problem. Also check the wire routing. I agree about the track 00 sensor, also. I was...

I remember that directory now. Stack overflow strikes again. Thanks.

Definitely run PETTESTER and see what it displays for the different combos before changing the hardware.

All punches have now been sold.

That is typical design for a 3.5" drive. Chances are there is some solidified gunk in the groove. I'd clean that grease off with alcohol, make sure...

"for 8 hours a month" pretty much means there's a NiCd battery inside...

I have an electronic typewriter that can store macros in memory, even when it is turned off. However, it comes with an instruction that says it must...

well, first try yesterday, and it's (of course) a fail :D my fear was true, but not from what i believed first. i face serious noise troubles, but...

I did try with the latest released versions of BP/TP. I'll try building in order as you recommended, or saving as some kind of project.

Hi Geoff, Thanks a lot, although I could get very useful informations, the full manual will be helpfull. I am finishing my applcard ii which will...

Thanks MikeS. For that one MC6821P, the [ giving a $ output was just one example, yes. Sorry, I should have been more explicit. Every key on the...

I did get some tapes for the Iriwin drive and attempted to repair 4 of them with the plastibands, and while I’m quite confident I got the bands on...

If you want to try using a 3.5" Floppy Drive to emulate an 8" Floppy, Marcus Bennett has that information available. While his site is down...

The principle he's using is based on "supercaps", a method used to power devices for generally short intervals (such as a brief power failure): ...

Finally I found the error with the video signal. First I replaced all capacitors in the power supply and that already gave a big improvement. The...

Larry, Thanks, I'l go work on that Maurice

I'm very happy with the results I got :). I just allocated 32K inside a physical page and used 8 bit PCM (8192 and 11025 Hz). Sound quality is...

So you might be the first person to confirm the existence of this drive! You actually sold 251R models? Got any still new ones out back? haha

First thing is to add more memory, at least 512 MB and even more if possible. You may want to check that the system can handle more than 512 MB...

some cf cards do not work like the sandisk, in my case I had to take a 2GB transcend on my ibm 5155, and it worked, I had the same problems as you,...

Using gold caps as a replacement isn't a new idea. Good thing is, since they are caps, there's no need to disable the charging circuit. Bad thing is,...
