Message-ID: <8834@brl-tgr.ARPA> Date: Fri, 1-Mar-85 14:03:32 EST Article-I.D.: brl-tgr.8834 Posted: Fri Mar 1 14:03:32 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 4-Mar-85 06:22:15 EST Sender: news@brl-tgr.ARPA Lines: 16 I am interested in DYI maintenance on a couple of 5 1/4" 48 tpi floppy drives (Tandon TM 100-2). Is it possible to do all necessary alignment with a digital alignment disk and appropriate software (eg. Dysan's Interrogator)? Is an oscilloscope necessary? For a H/Z-100, is Zenith's Disk-based Diagnostic software + digital alignment disk ($70+$60) sufficient for the job? How does this compare with Dysan's Interrogator ($140 incl. disk)? Comments, suggestions would be appreciated. I will post a summary if the response is sufficient. Thanks, Tim Gonsalves Gonsalves@SU-Sierra.Arpa -------
