Technical support - Hardware related / Disk station and incorrect dri...
Last post by sokot - Yesterday at 23:36Hello,
I need help fixing my DDI 1 disk drive I replaced the belt in it and when I put it together it gets the message:
"Drive A: read fail"
sometimes it still says before it:
"Drive A: user 0"
I don't know if the station was functional before replacing the belt because I just acquired it. I don't know if I made a mistake because in order to get to the wheels and clean them well I took off the whole board including the red diode (laser?). I took a picture beforehand and screwed it as it was but I probably should not have touched it. WHAT can I do to fix this problem ? I am also attaching a video of how the head goes after the "cat" command.
Greetings and thank you for any help.
PS I cleaned the head with alcohol and lubricated the guides with silicone,
Floppy disks are working tested on another disk drive

EDIT: I was able to list the floppies with the |DIR command. Later, the CAT command also started to work. Why such a dependency ?

Technical support - Hardware related / Re: 6128+ Keyboard Membrame
Last post by tubs74 - Yesterday at 14:37I've used conductive paint on the spectrum+2a membrane as well, and worked well. It does seem the paint I had was not conductive until it had dried.

Quote from: 6128 on Yesterday at 11:10The original goat puzzle or the toned down version in later releases? Not that the later version were that much easier though, tbh.Quote from: cwpab on 18:31, 18 May 25Did anyone beat the infamous goat puzzle without help?Yes.
It ruined what was otherwise a pretty good adventure in my opinion. I've played the first few Broken Sword adventures to completion, I only really gave up on the one that wasn't really an adventure game (and I think I've got the one that comes after that on GoG but never got round to actually playing it)
