domestic MS5313 drive. For 5305, 5311, 5323 not

tinsmith, no circuitry, because all
facts are taken from personal experience.


     More from spectrophone 'and know that the 13th
write poorly and in general ... I've encountered
this problem recently when I started to arise a shortage of 
5-inch floppies, and had even juzat

score of them, (. rescued a good man (who to this day supplies
5 dyuymovkami), who gave neyuzannyh Izotov (ES5287). Such 
carriers classification spectrophone 'and are the most crappy, 
and their use is strictly forbidden:), but no choice ... But 
with the discs came troubles: drive write / read normally not 
more than 60 tracks ie 3 / 4 drive, or worse. As a result, the 
disk remains up to 700 unused sekov (abidna!), and for good 
disks (3M, First, Basf) all travel to write / read, including 
the latest tracks. Then I noticed he did not read last

trax at the top (head 1) head. Not
I will describe my way of reasoning,
but I have come to the conclusion that the case in a drive.


     Disc rotation speed. Fast is good, but not quite (I had 
originally test ADS: 304. 1 rpm, and Test_FDD: 307 (?!). 
Adjustable, speed rotation of the disk, looking for money along 
the way reading from the last road (at the Scorpion

very convenient to call the Disk Utility / Test
disk in the shadow businesses, since the reading begins
with the last track). Of course, all individually, but do not 
make it too high (> 303). By the way, the regulator for 5313 is 
on the underside of the drive near motor drive). If this does 
not help (I have not helped, although improvements have been

visible), do so. We look at the drive
from above, looking to go wire to
verhney'nizhney head. They lead to
top of the board, it contains two regulators
next to the connectors (god knows that they regulate;)). 
Actually using them achieve a stable read / write

the last road (first try
closest to the terminals). For this operation
better to use the discs quality is worse,
as in my case. In fact, the standard
flopovoda speed of 300 rpm + / -1, and the level of read / 
write is convenient to check in ADS 'e: REC. LEVEL (menu TEST 
DRIVE). 


     After all this pain I have
have read / write all Izotov, from beginning to end (!).


     Another sometimes arises from users
Trouble with a domestic drive: razyustirovanie the top of the 
head. If even a trouble has happened, here are some tips for 
setting up: 

     1. To begin calm and do not fuss, because it just hurt
and the alignment of the drive requires an iron
calm, be patient;

     2. Take a very good drive, which until then was read 
zashib, but better CD drugana whose Teac;


     3. Sign in TR-DOS, call the directory of the drive if it 
is okay to read, mean zero-expensive all ok and you

have to miss a couple of points, and those
who ... read on;

     4. Turn the drive to loosen the screws on which is mounted 
stepper motor; 

     5. Call CAT and gently move your cursor in the right 
direction, look for a position in which directory normally read 
and tighten the screws; 

     6. Unscrew the little left and right
screws to mount the head and as soon as possible
more carefully slide it slightly
forward or backward along the way, tighten the screws;

     7. Check the reading of the TR-DOS;

     8. If you do not work, try to shift the head in the 
opposite direction; 

     9. Do not move the head (FDD)
rotating disk!;

     10. After the successful configuration check it on 
multiple disks, urging them to check disk from first to last 
track, tighter tighten the screws.



     And sometimes even lubricate your
Drive, and those who have no turbo - SH strongly recommend it - 
it will prolong life flopovoda. I have the 13th since

'96 Year, and already bought yuzany.


     Till you get everything! C Ya!


     Instead, PS: I want to share long-standing
idea. She was born in 1995 (in
fukin 'army, before Dembele!) and in the same
was embodied. It is about
Kempston / Sinclair joysticks. Not always
convenient to use the lever dzhoyami, and I
remade by Joy Dendy (and can be from Sega
or Play Station, just do not get the cheap square): parses it, 
throwing the power cord (wire is not enough!), cuts on board 
everything that goes on "drop", take lace from an old (broken), 
Joey Posting on the direction, shooting, off

goats. Payaem collect, crazy about!
