Seems LAFUMAT hasn't monitored this forum for a while.
Try contacting him directly at lafuentemateos(at)gmail(dot)com.
Last I heard from him he had some units left for sale. He ships worldwide.
I'm had very good experience using his controller.

My controller from lafumat arrived today. Great work!

I found a old 3.5" Floppy drive. A Epson SMD-300. After i jumper it to "Drive select 0" it worked.
Jumper settings have i found here: http://electrickery.xs4all.nl/comp/divc ... md-300.gif

But i get "RF ERROR"... In a shipped document form lafumat stands: That i have to "move slightly blue potentiometers" on this error.

But how?

It exist two blue potentiometers, see: posting.php?mode=reply&f=5&t=774#pr4032

They described as RV1 and RV2

Found a post about RV1,RV2 in the Spain forum, here: http://www.retrowiki.es/fororw/viewtopi ... 359#p33339

translate.google: http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... ew%3Dprint :
The potentiometer RV1 must be positioned in its terminals 2 and 3 (the lower part of omniaje) measure 1.50 or 1.48 k. This potentiometer, apparently adjusts the voltage of writing, leg 33 WPW.

The potentiometer RV2 must be positioned in terminals 2 and 3 (the lower part of omniaje) measure 1.44 k. This potentiometer apparently adjusts voltage reading, RPW foot 18.

origin Spain text from the picture for RV1:
Adjuste de 1,48 k o
desde 1,50 hasta 1,45
por estar montados da 4,15 k
en lugar de 100k
google translate this to:
1.48 Adjust k or
from 1.50 to 1.45
4,15, if installed da k
instead of 100k
origin Spain text from the picture for RV2:
RV2 = 1,44 entre la pata 2 y 3
este es para el voltage de
lectura
google translate this to:
RV2 = 1.44 between the leg 2 and 3
this is for the voltage of
reading

WOW. It worked.

I used a other diskette and mask the DD/HD hole with tesa... DSKTINIT and LOAD, SAVE works fine :D
Amazing: With double density format i have 720KB/32KB = 22,5 :P

Great! My 30years Dragon 32 can use floppy disks. Amazing.

I have ordered a LOTHAREK SD Floppy Emulator SLIM... Hope that is will also work.

There is this:
CV = DATA SEPARATOR
VR2 = WRITE PRECOMPENSATION
VR2 = READ WINDOW PULSE WIDTH

http://www.alphamicro.com/dss10/40200A03.pdf
The PDF is great with some general information about floppy drives. And information how to calibrate.

On the last page are example oscilloscope example pictures, to adjust C10, RV1 and RV2:

Jeddie congratulations.

I feel that I have arrived in time to help with the potentiometers, the move is as a last option.

thanks for your contribution on adjusting the potentiometers, very good :D
