CITIZEN Z1DE-57A - Floppy drive mod to Amiga
Hi Folks,
Picked up a couple of Citizen Z1DE-57A drives and made the modifications per Jope's instructions : http://83.150.127.2/AmigaFloppy/Z1DE-57A.html Made the mod, done it twice, but neither drive is working correctly - the drives power up and respond but cant read or write disks. Im testing on an A500 using ATK. Anyone else done this? |

These instructions are by Anssi Luukkonen (he sometimes goes by the handle Luukone)
What kind of response do you get? Motor activates ok? Stepping works in both directions? Diskchange detect works? |

Yeah - motor is fine - drive head looks ok - but I have to wonder if the drive itself has had a hard life - I restored the mod and tried it in an old PC and had the same result - so I suspect the device is worse for wear.

Try cleaning and then relubing the head carriage rails. A small bit of sewing machine oil or similar thin but clingy oil seems to work quite well.
