    it could also be cracks in the traces or bad solder joints on the PCB, those seem to be common failures with the XF551 boards.

    I'll be honest, I wouldn't know what I'm looking for, other than a gaping hole in a joint! I'll dismantle the whole lot tomorrow and have a look though.

    It has been a bit flaky in recent weeks, taking a few seconds to load up when booting from disks, occasionally with the Atari saying "No DOS", but hitting Reset has sorted that out. It's been idle for about two weeks before this occurred.


    Pay close attention to the solder joints where the ribbon cable connects to the PCB. 2 of mine failed there and I fixed them. I don't remember the exact symptoms of the failures...

    Maybe I need to pay attention more, but I didn't even know AA had a reputation feature. And more importantly why should I care?


    Same here! It wasn't a distraction to me...
  3. In Topic: did you have 1050 hang on a bad medium?

    Posted 6 Mar 2010

    I don't know about 1050 ROM versions but I know I have seen Rev K and Rev L on several of my old 1050 ROMS.

    LMAO - but they say they are fair and balanced. I guess their definition of balanced means so far to the right that left doesn't exist.


    Wishful thinkin'...
