+DavidMil Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Since we couldn't go anywhere after Harvey, I climbed back into the attic and opened another plastic container. It was full of 810 and 1050 parts, and the housing for my Percom drive (less the controller broad which I found in another container earlier and no transformer) and the case and MB for my RANA drive (less the transport mechanism) . Any one know if the 1000 was a double or single sided drive and what density? For some reason I seem to recall double sided single density, or maybe visa versa?

+CharlieChaplin Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 vice versa: single-sided, double density. Rana can read/write/format 90k, 130k and 180k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about what I expect from my memory these days. Would you know if a transport mechanism from a 1050 would work in the RANA?

BillC Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thank you CharlieChaplin. That's about what I expect from my memory these days. Would you know if a transport mechanism from a 1050 would work in the RANA? David I don't know if they are compatible but the schematics in the following thread show separate connectors for R/W head, stepper motor, spindle motor, and write protect sensor, which makes the mechanism similar to the 1050. I didn't see any connection for the track0 sensor and I don't believe the pinouts of the other connectors are necessarily the same, but I believe it should be possible to adapt a 1050 mechanism wiring to connect to the RANA 1000 PCB. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/237784-rana-1000-fsm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddtmw Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The Rana drives were a lot smaller than the 1050's weren't they? I wouldn't think the 1050 mech would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking in the housing, I'm going to agree with you. There isn't much space in there. DavidMil Edited September 15, 2017 by DavidMil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
