TECHNICAL INFORMATION
SECTION III - ADJUST FLOPPY DRIVE
Summary: Performing "cat's-eye" alignment of floppy drives uses the
DISKTEST program and a dual-channel, wideband oscilloscope. While
the necessary instructions for basic program control while obtaining
cat's-eye alignment will be given here, the DISKTEST program is
completely documented in a separate manual. Refer to the
DISKTEST manual for any questions regarding the operation of the
program beyond the instructions presented here.
Section 3.1 introduces the DISKTEST commands necessary for
aligning the floppy drive(s). Section 3.2 describes the methods of
checking for proper alignment, including test locations and values
used, and presumes knowledge of the contents of Section 3.1.
Section 3.3 describes the methods of aligning the floppy drive within
its two adjustment ranges: the Read/Write Head alignment, and the
- Track 00 Stop Screw setting. |
