johndias Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 My III's FDC decided to quit. I'm looking for a replacement if anyone has a spare they'd be willing to sell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tandy restorations Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) did you test if it was a power issue or a chip issue ? the first is a easy repair, the second is a chip replacement at about 25$. I know one source for refurbished FDC but its in Australia you could ask Jay by emailing jay @ JAYNEWIRTH@VERIZON.NET, he sells components and is on the west coast of USA, tell him TTR sent ya, he might have some for sale.

I'll check with Jay, thanks. The chip you sent didn't help unfortunately. It won't boot from floppy or Gotek (although it does at least prompt for Diskette?). I sent Ian an email but would like to avoid the international shipping cost if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
