Hey I remember
this...
Any disk drive without a track 0 sensor (Apple
][, Commodore,
etc). The heads bang themselves out of alignment with time.
OPEN 15,8,15,"I0:NEWDISK,ND"
True for 1541s, but not 1571s. 1571s do have a track 0 sensor. And a
v3.1 1571 is the best 5.25" drive out there, I submit -- with
appropriate software, a 1571 can read most MFM formats, plus Commodore
GCR, and runs very fast when connected to a 128 in 128 mode.
How does one identify the version of 1571 ? Could you expand on
what you mean by appropriate software ? Are there other platforms
it can be used on ?
ciao larry
