IIX floppy drive service and various IIX cards wanted

2013-07-22 by linear226@excite.com

Hi all,

I have 2 of the original (beige facia) YE Data YD-174 floppy drives in my IIX, does anyone have any pointers on servicing these?, also I'm looking the following cards if anyone has any working spares,

CMI-02(rev6 or above)

QFC-9 (rev6 or above)

Q209 (rev6 or above)

thanks Tony

Hi Tony. If these are the full width drives, be aware they derive their speed from the mains frequency: they had different pulleys for 50 or 60Hz, Europe or US. Otherwise, they have similarities with the later half-width drives. I have all the cards you need, but I'm away for the next three weeks: I'm in New York at the moment. Regards, Peter Wielk.
