Hi Dave,

These are the pictures, probably I am wrong, you must know that my soldering capability and undestanding is very very low.
Give me your opinion.

Thank for your help.

It looks fine to me. It's not a dry joint, as far as I can tell from the potatograph.

Hi,

I think you need to contact Tetroid, who maybe able help, unless all sanction prevent contact.

Can you check cable to verify what 3 wires are twisted?

Looking on Wikipedia for the floppy drive connector:

Code: Select all

PC DRIVE                     QL
12  DRVSB   Drive Select B   14
13  GND                      13
14  DRVSA   Drive Select A   12		
The idea is to select PC Drive set as Drive 1 or DSRVSB, and change the drive ID to DRVSA


Regards, Derek
