Greetings folks,
I've got a couple of dead C-1541 drives here, and not nearly enough
knowledge / info to troubleshoot them.
Does anyone have - or have a link to - a basic text on floppy disk
troubleshooting & repair? For instance, I need to know what I should expect
to see coming off the read head, and the read head pre- and post-amplifier
circuits.. basic low-level info of that ilk.
FYI I have 25+ years of exp. as an electronics tech, but almost exclusively
in vacuum tube analog and audio circuitry. I have a scarce few basic
solid-state & digital-specific instruments, such as logic probes / pulsers,
transistor testers, transistor testers, not much more.
Can you lend a hand?
