This is a request for more infomation. I was using my H-100 last night
when a capacitor on the floppy controller blew. I have had this happen once
before. The cap is C35 next to U22. It just fried, black as a transistor.
Nothing else on the board even remotly looks damaged. The result of the
cooking was the drive just kept spinning, lights on and rebooting only
results in aborting what ever I was doing.
It just appears to be a power filter cap? I am planning on replacing it with
a new one that has higher tolerences. Had a 10uF 15V in there. May try a 20uf
at 25V. Any suggestions or comments as to why this is happening? built my
controller in 83 from assembly manual 595-2909 What does it cost to buy
a new controler. (just curious. I doubt I would unless It is unrepairable.)
Thanks. Robert J. Hale III
