It is not in any local book stores, and I don't think I have ever seen it advertised by a mail order place like B & C computervision and the like. Does anyone know where I can get the book, or maybe someone has a copy that they don't want anymore and are willing to sell me? Please respond by e-mail. I should be reachable at the following addresses: ARPAnet sumrall@msudoc.EGR UUCP ihnp4!msudoc!sumrall Thanks in advance.

When I put a disk in the drive and close the handle, the drive makes a noise for only a moment, (you know the sound, whatever it is). The busy light stays on, but the disk never turns and when I turn on the computer I get the disk boot error message. It costs $90 to have drives repaired around here and you can get a new one for around $135-140. It seems that they're a throw away item if one can't fix it themself. To answer your question, I think it was CR15 that was the diode that was cracked and the first one replaced. Have any other suggestions? Your considerations are greatly appreciiated.

In the above I noticed that you have replaced the diodes and are now on the lookout for possible bad solder connections. My suggestions is that you replace the whole Bridge Rectifier system, and also the 5 Volt regulator. I have had many a 1050 drive in my hands for repair and for the most part the 5 volt reg was the problem. The voltage on the side of the diode, ( CR15 I think -- the one comming directly from the bridge ) should be about 22 volts. If it's low, you probably have a leaky diode in the bridge, so just replace all 4 diodes in the bridge. Replacesment of the 5 volt regulator is cheap insurance, so I would also opt for that. Just rememer to get the rigth polarity regulator. Wouldn't want to pop the wrong voltage potential around the drive, which would make the whole situation worse. -rich Lakesys & Milwaukee | Who & where ????? A great place by a great lake.....

I'm very new to this wonderfull thing of gateways, and was wondering about some things about my atari 8-bit.. A) How can I go about obtaining A working copy of Kermit-65? I have a doc file for an old version of it, and it seems very good, and I would like to get my hands on it.. Right now I have to use Chameleon to access the vax/vms system, and most other people are using vt100, and, well, uh, Chameleon dosen't support vt100.. At least Moria works with vt52.. B) What are the files YAU and YAUE? I noticed in the info-atari8 list i found that I would use that program to somehow extract LL.COM from the text file?? Please explain and tell me how to obtain these programs also, thanks. [I already have LL.*, I found it Arc'ed on a BBS I call..] -Thanks Uck!
