I've seen information on this before in the net, but it has been
some time, and now I need the information.
I would like to get a "good" (descriptive) manual on the Commodore
1571 disk drive, including if possible, some idea on how to align
the drive (or at least give some insight as to the principles).
The 1541 has a couple of manuals written for it (The Anatomy of the
1541 being one), I need to know some comparable manuals for the 1571.
Thanks to all who've posted this info before and share it again.

Abacus has the only manuals of which I am aware that provide a "good" description of the DOS. A good source for technical hardware information is the 1571 service manual. Commodore does not sell this manual to the public, but allows service centers to sell it (but many service centers will not do this, probably fearing loss of business). -- -- Fred Bowen uucp: {uunet|rutgers|pyramid}!cbmvax!fred arpa: cbmvax!fred@uunet.uu.net tele: 215 431-9100 Commodore Electronics, Ltd., 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA, 19380
