[M100] Amstrad NC200 Floppy drive

Hi All, Seems like I'm not having a good year with floppy drives :p I was working on repairing the drive for an Amstrad NC200 which was going great until the final assembly. Despite at least a dozen worken tests at each step, looks like something misaligned at the last minute and I managed to ri

[M100] corroded battery contacts

Hi All, This isn't specifically an m100 question, but is one that relates and I'm sure people here will have experience with this. I have an Amstrad NC-200 with severely corroded battery terminals. When it's just battery leakage, I have always had good luck with contact cleaner (I use WD-40 bran

[M100] TPDD2 & Cambridge z88

Some time back I replaced the belt and had my TPDD2 working fine until it took a tumble while accessing the disk. It tries to read and write, but throws device errors. For the life of me, I can't figure out what is wrong. I got very excited by the service manual but haven't made headway. Does a

Re: [M100] TPDD2 (FLOPPY) vs Barcode Wand (UPC.CO)

This doesn't help with the relocation, but instead of a ccr-81 couldn't you make an mp3 of UPC and load it from anything convenient that can play back the audio (phone, mp3 player, reel to reel ;)? fg On Fri, Apr 2, 2021, 9:29 PM Greg Swallow wrote: > Kurt, > > Would work for sure, but I'm tr

if you want to use rj45 -> db25 hoods, you should check out a cable like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078PT5N24 which will just plug into an android device with usb c port and give you a rj45 end to plug into --francois On Wed, Feb 24, 2021 at 3:51 PM AvantGuard Systems < cavaug...@avantgua

[M100] TPDD2 help

Reaching out to the list for advice and help. I recently replaced the belt on my TPDD2 and was in the process of writing to a test disk when the drive fell a few feet onto the carpeted floor. There's no obvious physical damage, but as you can expect it's no longer able to read or write to disks.

Re: [M100] TPDD Disk Imaging?

... And thank you for it. I bought one for the TPPD2 recently and can say the attention to detail is clear. As a favor I would expect a generic floppy with a hand wriiten label. The disk I got from arcadeshopper is on display on a shelf. On Tue, Jul 14, 2020, 10:32 PM Brian K. White wrote: >
