810 Disk Drive Speed Adjustment


Recommended Posts

Hey All, another Newbie question. I have a Atari 810 disk drive that Does Read, Write, and Format But when I run a speed test on it from SmartDOS it comes back with a speed of 284-285. From all I have read it should be between 288-289. Can someone post a Picture of where/how to adjust the speed on it? Thanks in Advance🤘

It's difficult to see your power board but there should be a potentiometer R104 next to the 2917 speed regulator chip on your particular board, which should allow the speed adjustment. See the red arrow below:-
