Percom AT88-S1PD

[+SoulBuster]

I went through my storage loft tonight (only took 7 hours ) and found my manual for the AT-88 drives.

I'll scan it over the next few days and will post it here when finished...

That would be awesome, I really appreciate it.

Atari Computer

 

Manual Number

I can make scans of this one if someone wants it.

 

I'm still looking for schematics for the percom units.

If you have a working scanner, please do...

 

My friend's auto-feed scanner won't do a full page scan when the page isn't full of text and the flatbed scanner's drivers keep failing after that PC is rebooted and it's a pain in the but re-installing them each time I try to use that scanner...

 

Right now I don't have the cash to have them scanned...

[Fox-1 / mnx]

Interested in a manual (and possibly schematics) too. Have the drive and, except for a Ben Poehland RFD-40S1 technical review, no documentation at all.

Okay, here my first attempt at scanning the manual:

It's 165 megs of jpeg files, maybe someone can clean them up and put them in a PDF?

[redman]

Thank you AtariGeezer!!

Cool - thanks for scanning.

These are Fantastic, Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the scanning, I'll make a mono pdf out of it...

Thank you both Atarigeezer and Fuji-Man. It is now up on Atarimania in the manual section.

 

Fugi-Man, you did that fast. How did you convert that so quickly?

I'd guess, with his computer.

I'd guess, with his computer.

Just for that you have to scan and post one atari 8-bit manual that has not been scanned before, smarty.

GIMP.

 

Crop, rotate, desaturate, rect. select/fuzzy tool, background color, delete, save, repeat each page.

 

Combine in acrobat, ocr, straighten, reduce size.

 

upload to drop box.

 

About 2 hrs. It is far from perfect, but it'll do.

[Fuji-Man]

You may want to d/l the updated version when AtariGeezer found some errors.

[Fuji-Man]

I did a quick eyeball through it, didn't see anymore glaring errors.

Thanks you guys, The drive makes a lot more sense now with instructions.

If I can find my box of Atari stuff, I'll at least scan and post the Percom schematics. I'll have to look through the box to see if there's anything else worth scanning.

Thanks all for this thread and manual. I just received one of these as a gift from my brother, who apparently picked it up in some sort of strange ghost mall near Cincinnati that apparently has an arcade that also sells some retro hardware/software.
