New video: Commodore SFD 1001 Repair

Another dead floppy drive has landed on my desk. I was told that "the motor isn't working". That can have different causes, but let's find out what the actual problem is. I never worked on one of these drives before, but they are related to the CBM 8050, a drive that I like very much.

Oops! I appear to have come home with the operators console, and an enormous quantity of spare PCBs and cables for my #isdx #TelephoneExchange

More importantly, there are also two spare 2.88Mb ED #FloppyDrives in there, it’s taken nearly a year to track some down!

I felt like doing some #retro stuff so I got a couple #floppydrives off eBay as parts only and decided to see if I could get them to work. This is Part 1 so.. not yet, but I'm still confident, despite my noobishness.

Heh. A post on why the MS-DOS floppy disk read cache was set at two seconds:

"Mark Zbikowski led the MS-DOS 2.0 project, and he sat down with a stopwatch while Aaron Reynolds and Chris Peters tried to swap floppy disks on an IBM PC as fast as they could.

They couldn’t do it under two seconds.

So the MS-DOS cache validity was set to two seconds."

The apparent end of an era. Linus Torvalds has marked the linux floppy disk driver as orphaned as the maintainer (Jiri) no longer has working hardware.
