[comp.sys.apple2] Disk ][ diagnostics

jeffb@world.std.com (Jeffrey T Berntsen) (01/29/91)

Does anyone out there know of a good diagnostic procedure/program for
old Disk ][ drives?  I am interested in any procedures, tricks, hardware
software, special alignment disks, etc.  I'm very familiar with disk drive
troubleshooting and alignment for standard (PC) floppy drives but don't know
a lot about troubleshooting and repairing old Apple drives (and I've owned two
for _years_.  Go figure....).  Any help is gratefully appreciated in advance!
Please post replies here.

I always use AppleCillin. It's an old DOS 3.3 program but it does the job very
well. Apple drives are easy to fix and align. There's a book out by SAMS in
Indianapolis that goes over the whole procedure.
