Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had experience of hooking up a EME-157 drive (taken from a broken 6128 Plus) to a PC or Kyroflux device and if they could advise on the power connection?
I'm aware that there are voltage differences, and that you have to use a flipped version of the power cable - but I understand that the EME-157 is 5V only. I have purchased this cable that comes with a modified power cable: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135035278228 - but have a feeling the power connector isn't going to work due to the voltage differences. I'm sure that I read somewhere that just using a standard 3.5" drive connector from a PC supply on the EME-157 would work fine, but I can't find reference to it now (maybe I dreamt it!) and thought I'd check in here first, before potentially blowing the thing up!
Not able to test just yet anyway, as the drive belt has deteriorated and have just ordered a replacement in. I'm hoping to get the drive working, so that I can preserve 3" disks from time to time (commercial or unreleased for Games That Weren't).
Any recommendations/suggestions would be really welcome, and apologies for my lack of confidence in this area!
For many years I had a 3inch drive as drive A in my PC. 3" floppy system disk formatted in DOS 5.0. :P
