    SAVE THE FLOPPY

    15. Floppy drives do not use jumpers. uh - they sure do. DS0, DS1, DS2, DS3. Thanks to the cabling scheme on MFM floppies you leave everything at the factory DS1 (B) and the twist in the cable reconfigures the drive designation. Older machines HAD to use the DSx settings or the controller would...

    SAVE THE FLOPPY

    I have floppies back to 8" and still in use but for specific antique machines. Boxes of 5.25" 360k and 1.2mb as well, also in use. Shirt pocket sizing doesn't matter as a reason to keep 3.5" floppies - just the damage aspect from magnetics and moisture/dust is enough to say bye to them for...

    Microtest NextScanner

    I receieved my MT340/Super Injector combomarked as an 8050-00 MT340 set - the battery was dead in the 340 but seems to be taking a charge and functionally seems to be ok. On power up the ROM version is 2.02 and the Flash version is 2.10a. I got a serial cable and short cat5 jumper with it...

    Microtest NextScanner

    Has nayone come up with a manual for the 8050-00 set yet? Also anyone know the use for the serial/data cable that comes with it? My guess is to use Microtest's software to either program the scanner or to dump info to the PC. Also since the injector isn't used for the coaxial - is just a...
