- Hello, everyone!
- As a previous (and very happy) Apple II+ owner, I was asked to
- help out a friend with a problem with her Apple II. The system has
- two Apple disk drives with a 3.3 controller. Disk drive 2 dosen't write.
- The first thing that I looked at was the disk speed (I used Locksmith 4.1)
- and discovered that it was off the scale on the fast side. I then tried
- to adjust the speed by adjusting the little screw made for that purpose
- at the back of the drive. I just barely touched the screw and the drive
- speed indicator went to the other extreme, that is, off the scale on the
- slow end. I am wondering if the drive has a bad speed regulator (or
- whatever it is called). Is there any fix for this?
- If there is no fix, does anyone have a spare disk II drive that
- they would like to sell me cheap?
- Thanks for any help......
