Chaos Protocol Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I recently inherited a ton of old Atari stuff from my Dad (translation: saved from garbage) and it had a ton of old books and manuals, most actual books or manuals from products, but on thing caught my eye, it's a technical booklet on the 1050 drives from SAMS COMPUTERFACTS Features: Complete Schematics, Preliminary Service Checks, Troubleshooting Tips, Easy-REad Waveforms, Replacement Parts List, and Semiconductor Cross-Reference I couldn't find anything on it online and was wondering if anyone knew of it and if there were other ones made for other Atari hardware (I'm assuming there were). If there's any interest I can try to scan it and put it online. It contains 8 foldout pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I think there'd be great interest if/when people's 1050s start giving out, but I'm not saying owners don't already know how to maintain them. My own is still chugging along after 15+ years but I try to limit its use now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnenhexer Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Putting it online is a fine idea, but remember the copyright. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Protocol Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 what's the tife frame that a text copyright is good for? i thought they expired after a set amount of years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnenhexer Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I bought a wiring plan on ebay for the Atari ST last year, the company which made the plan still exists, so the copyright is on the plans. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelen Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Yeah, that would be very great to put someting like that on-line. My drive broke down last week, i'm now busy with it. My test software says everything is right, only HEAD STEP/SETTLE TEST FAILS.....what does that mean ? My other 'happy' disk drive hjas some problems too. first it must warm up before it loads some quicker, en the test says : HEAD STEP/SETTLE TEST FAILS and TRACK 00 SENSOR test Fails...??? how can this be, if it can boot a disk ? WHo knows more than i ? Thanks, Thelen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
