Hi All
Well, I dug out my H89. I turned it on, POP, turned it
off. Smoke comes from the one side.
Well, it looked like one of the 2.2 uf tantalums decided
Oh yeah... that's fully the behavior of the "popcorn" machine I referred to
earlier.
Years ago, I'd place a second drive in the
machine by
installing two half height drives. The boot drive it
behind the other drive so I can't see what the difficulty
is with the other disk.
I just bought a handful of half-height drives and was about to launch into
this myself. Did you feel a need to upgrade anything in the power supply
before doing this, or is it up to running both motors simultaneously if/when
that occurs?
