WOW! Sorry to hear about this, and hope the surgery gets
the stone out and you recover well and quickly!

I was not able to get access to any of my notes to more completely answer

Short answer: NO. Otrona did not have two different obscure numbers of
tracks for their disk sides. On the limited number of Otronas that I
encountered. What I encountered was very straight-forward WD

The 5MX can talk IRDA, you know, which might be easier but is

I rather cut the story short, I did repair the damage and had the PSU
working again very briefly, but something else failed somewhere and it just
does not work correctly.

What went 'bang'? (I assume if there was a loud noise, it mus have left
visible damage somewhere.)
Noel
In my case the PSU where I had this still does not work. It is a H7140 from
a PDP-11/24. I found the failed 555 after help from a list member, but when
I replaced it and powered on there was a big bang (I should have told you
that!). I have never been able to repair this PSU and I need someone who

A 555 can also take a Commodore PET down because it's solely in charge of
the RESET circuit, and no RESET == no PET.

Thanks! It was very satisfying and not the worst thing to go wrong
for a beginner.
I was also quite surprised that such a simple component would die,
and what I find more confusing is that it died while I was using
the machine.

Congratulations!
It's odd that a 555 failed, but sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to what
fails. E.g. I was fixing some broken M7859's (KY11-LB Programmer's Console),
and on one of them a 7493 (4-bit counter)
My last email was unclear...I have a few RK06 Data Cartridges and an
Alignment Cart Available. Contact me privately if you have an RK06 drive
and you're looking for carts. They look like RL02's maybe a hair thinner.
I paid a small amt, and I am looking to be reimbursed for the cost.
I have no RK

Great news, congratulations! I am about to see if my H7826 works tonight
after cleaning it up and replacing a few electrolytic capacitors.

Picked up a few 555s and sockets and now it works! I am very
happy. Going from not knowing how switch mode power supplies work, to
watching some YouTube videos, and then finally being able to debug the
problem and fix it was a lot of fun.
I wonder what will die next.
Thanks,
Aaron.

Does anyone out there have an DEC RK06 drive?
Bill
I might have a controller and some RK06 and or RK07 packs. Also a few drive
boards.
