Anyone got docs or point me to docs for Astra 2001 drive?

[svenski]

 

I have one of these beasties box with smart dos manual but no smart dos disk or drive documentation.

 

If anyone knows of an online source for the info or could post some basic information on using it that would be great.

 

I'm presuming you just specify which drive is which in DOS and thats about 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

It's a voltage regulator, similar to the 78xx series.

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?
