1571 SPEED ADJUSTMENT FOR SUPERCARD-RAMBOARD NEEDED



I have been searching Hi and Low for documentation on how to add a
speed control adjustment to a 1571 disk drive, I know this has been
done, as It mentions it on the flip-side of supercardplus 6.0 software
disk. I have a Supercard Plus 1571 installed, and need to slow down
the drive to copy the Vorpal/V-max stuff Like Calgames/Legend of
blacksilver/Games winter and summer editions.


Also the 1541-II with direct drive motor also does not have any speed
control adjustments, has this also been documented anywhere?

I found all the ramboard stuff on the Inet for 1541-11 and 1571, but
none of this shows anything about the speed control.

If anyone has the original Documentation from Utilities Unlimited
for the SuperCard Plus 1571 by Jim Drew, I know it would show it, as
the SEQ file on the flip-side says, connect using the diagram, well
there is no Diagram on any of the disks, so its refering the the
manual.


Very soon as the Ramboard has been documented I will try to
make up some info on how to build a supercard plus for both
the 1541 and the 1571, It has RAM/ROM and support chips on both
units, unfortunatly both are copies from original boards, One is
point to point wired in the 1541 version, and the 1571 version is
proto-boarded with etching solution, however they both work as needed
with the supercard software, and both pass the test file on the disk.
the 1541 simply relocates the 6502 chip and the same for the 1571, but
with the 1571 there is a wire connected to one of the chips on the
board. All parts are identified, and ROM has allready been dumped to a
bin file.

The best part is the user creatable copier files, that directly
control the card, you can input tracks densitys and header info and
filler gap info, also you can create your own sector editing parameter
files to edit whatever you like to crack the software.
