Re: [prophet2000] 2002 Error Codes / Dead Drive

2002-05-28 by ferrograph@aol.com

<< Anybody know what the "Lh" error code means ?? >>

yep- it means the drive's fucked. try this link first, because this has come 
up before:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/prophet2000/

you will find this amongst relatively recent postings : >>the "LH" readout 
means "Locked Head" and, according to the WineCountry Sequential tech. staff 
is a terminal fault with the floppy drive.<<

elsewhere, possible suitable replacements are listed:

<<   Toshiba FDD4216G0K 
  Sony MP-F53W-00D 
  Canon MD-350 
  Sony 63W 
  TEAC FD-235HF (thanks to nick bittakis) 
  SONY MT-2 1-623-457-14 (new! thanks to david borman) >>

I added these: 
sony mpf520-1 (jumper needs to be in inner position)
epson smd-400 (jumpers across DC, MC and C0; you'll know what that means if 
you ever see one).
I have some doubts as to the availability of these models but you never know 
when/where one will turn up. a citizen drive lifted from my long-dead sx16 
would not work whatever I did with jumpers and switches.

I was, some time ago, going to a) mail someone on this list my spare manual, 
and lost their snail-mail address, and b) write a quickie guide for sampling 
and setting up patches. then a bit of unpleasantness started over the exact 
model number of one of the aforementioned replacement drives (the teac), and 
the list went very quiet. coincident with this, I had some bad luck on e-bay 
and ended up with schemo's for a p3k instead of a p2k (I have a 2002+ and a 
2k kybd but the latter is dead right now) and took this to be some sort of 
karmic thing.....

I still intend to write a quick users guide as I think the instrument is 
fantastic-sounding. it's just so difficult to explain by description alone- 
maybe this is why stevie wonder liked the thing so much......
hasn't anyone got some webspace to spare? maybe I can scan the book and bung 
a pdf together.....

duncan.
