Oh wow.
As in the other thread I was trying to revive/re-bootstrap an old Apple IIe and wasn't successful reading or writing any disk. Both drives behave similarly.
Then I was wondering, what about my PC floppy drives? I have a HH 5¼" HD drive and a combo 5¼+3½ drive. I tried formatting the disk that wouldn't work in the Apple and it didn't work in the PC either!
Then I tried a HD 5.25 disk ... it won't even touch the disk either! Just like the Apple DD disk, "Not Ready!"
Weird. Seems the PC drive is having trouble clamping...

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?
And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast
So I'll start things off :
My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops:
I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.....

has anyone ever had to replace the SVC chip on original xbox? 1.3 version
i have fully recapped main board and eliminated psu with working original
and checked the print for corrosion caused by leaking clock cap ect
box will start up fine when the SMC ic is frozen with freezer aerosol spray
but otherwise it just wont start,
sometimes the fan will spin if you keep holding the power on button
but it wont start up
i would value your opinion thanks...Today, 12:18 PM -
Hi,
I am fixing the charger (UC18YKL) for a Hitachi battery drill (DV18DCL2) but, as it charges Lithium batteries, I need to know the correct replacement device for the blown (smd) FET2.
As I have spent many hours trying to find a schematic for this DV18DCL2 charger without any luck, does anyone know where I can get one or a parts list?
Thanks in advance for any help,
