[comp.sys.atari.st] Future Systems GTS-100 drive

becker@vela.acs.oakland.edu (Anthony M. Becker) (03/27/91)

This may have been covered in a previous article, but, as I am new to
this newsgroup, I probably missed it.

I have a GTS-100 drive for my ST.  It has developed a problem which
causes it to be unable to write tracks 01 and 02 (and perhaps others,
though I have been able to write some tracks).  The drive is still able
to read data just fine.  I suspect that the problem is simply a head
alignment needed.

My biggest problem is that I can't find Future Systems.  They appear to
have gone out of business, or were bought out by someone, etc.  I
called the phone number in my user's reference and got someone's
residence.  And, the worst of it is that none of the Atari retail
stores or repair shops in my area (which seem to be going out of
business themselves) will touch my drive.

Does this mean I have to throw it out?  Or is there somewhere in the US
where it could be repaired?

Since I am about 300 messages behind in this newsgroup, and cannot
afford to keep up, I would appreciate an email response.  Thank you.
