More info to come but I did verify that my PCB is the exact same version as the guy's on FB.

So I got this dual drive from another member on the forum and they never really had the time to "play with it." The only thing confirmed before I got it was that it "turned on." Once I got it, there were things rattling around inside the case so I took it completely apart and found multiple broken voltage regulators that I replaced. I took pictures before and during this "frame off restoration" so that mistakes wouldn't be made... Now the perplexing part, I got everything put back together except for the power switch wire and the red light wire... both come from the front of the drive and connect to the PCB at the rear for power. I've been talking with an incredibly helpful fellow on FB who has the same drive but his wiring (colors) connected differently on the PCB than mine did when I got it. After doing the restoration on this bad boy, the last thing I want to do is connect a wire incorrectly and fry the whole damn thing. What makes this interesting is I have very little knowledge of electronics... I can solder just fine but things like checking continuity, etc are way over my head. Any suggestions? Thank you, Roger

Very cool. I think OG Wilson later became Service Merchandise. -
Anyone got docs or point me to docs for Astra 2001 drive?
dafivehole replied to svenski's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Found it... on the power supply board (far left). I'm guessing that these should be easy to replace?!? They appear to be riveted in on the back... I can drill it out and re-rivet it? -

Any update on this? I have one as well and would love some sort of documentation on it. I can't find anything on the web... Also, when I got this drive, the piece pictured below was loose in the case... any ideas as to what it is? Thank you, Roger -
PM Sent.

A bunch of PC ads from December 6, 1994
dafivehole replied to Flojomojo's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
I used to go to the Soft Warehouse too. I loved that store... I heard that they had to change their name because of some other company with the same name suing them. Once they turned into CompUSA and started growing, I was hooked. I remember waiting in my car for a computer they had in their Black Friday ad in '93. I was like #2 or 3 in the store and I thought I had won the lottery! -

A nice vintage MS-DOS IBM PC game lot with a rare "generic" Sierra Game Manual (that covers MS-DOS, Amiga and Mac). ALL disks have been tested with my 3.5" floppy drive and they were ALL legible. The Conquests of the Longbow disks are dated 1991 and the Sea Rogue disks are dated 1992. The Game Manual is odd in that it doesn't mention that it's for any specific game... it just shows "How To" steps. It's dated 1992 on the rear cover. $10 plus shipping from 80138. Thank you! -
SoftDisk 1987 Rare No.68 - NEW - $10 Looks like it's brand new. The stickers haven't even been applied on the disks. Some slight yellowing of the plastic cover (see picture). Great overall shape. Copy II Plus 7.4 Disk for Apple II Plus, Apple IIe, IIC, IIGS plus an older disk - $10 Great overall shape. I have no Apple II to test them. Plus Media Mail shipping from 80138. Thank you!
