Can somebody with a Miniscribe 6085 tell me the value (or at the very
least the color code) of the inductor near CR16, RP17, Q17, C59,
etc. ? (the actual location marking on my board is under the component).
It's at the edge of the board, toward the back of the drive. Mine is
charred and unreadable.
I don;'t have this drive, but I am conserned as to why it failed.
Presumably it carried too much current, but why?
I would guess it's not part of any data-waveform filtering circuit (I
can't thinkl of a faulyt which would case an inductor there to carry so
much current as to urn it out), it's proably part of a PSU filter
circuit. In qhich case the value is not going to be very critical, but I
would suspect a short 'downstream' of the inductor as to the reason for
its burning out, and you'd better find that short before replacing it.
