Can anyone tell me where I may purchase a new WD1772 Floppy Disk Controller Chip for my ST? My local Atari dealer needs some kind of Atari part number to help me. Having a Master's degree in EE, it is much more convenient for me to obtain a chip and replace it myself than to play games with Atari and dealers. Please note that I have nothing against Atari or its dealers (on this issue at least). I just don't require their special services. I hope that I can resolve this soon as I have no recent backups of my hard disk. Thanks for any help. Scott D. Willingham

Scott... pick up an issue of BYTE Magazine, and check out the ads in the back... a lot of suppliers should either list the WD1772 in the ads, or may carry that chip, even if it's not listed... It's worth a few calls to find one...! BobR

My local Atari dealer needs Best Electronics in San Jose carries the WD1772 ($18). Their address/phone is: Best Electronics 2021 The Alameda, Suite 290 San Jose, CA 95126 (408) 243-6950 They also have quite a selection of other atari hardware and parts. They could probably send you a catalog if you ask for one. kevinj kevinj@refuge.colorado.edu (Kevin M. Jackson) ncar!boulder!refuge!kevinj
