Well, I'm convinced. I am going to purchase the 551 drive and SDX!
I really appreciate the help I received from the magazine (Charles, Gary, and
Albert). I think that I found the problem with my 1050. I opened it up and
took a magnifying glass to the sockets on the drive. It seems that there is
a hair-line crack in at least one solder connection. But since I have decided
to get the 551 I will not temp fate and try to repair it, at least not until I
have the new drive! So if all goes well in a couple of weeks I will have TWO
drives and SDX.
I have some new questions for you all. Does somone out there own
Diamond or GOE and have you used X windows (I use X)? If you have, I would
appreciate knowing the simularities and differences between the Atari carts
and X windows? Do both carts work with SDX? Which cart is better?
