Hi all,
As the 'designer**' of the new PSU board I'm perplexed too. My first instinct with the D64, would be to temporaly remove the Plus board and test as a stock 64. Though I don't see any reason why it should not work with a Plus equipped D64.
Not sure on the DragonDrive problems, do said VDKs work in the machine without the new PSU?
**yes yes I laid it out, sourced the components and experimented with various configurations, but the regulator sections are pretty much straight off the datasheet
Cheers.
Phill.
D64 with new Dragon PSU issue
Re: D64 with new Dragon PSU issue
Some VDK's work fine usually small ones with 1 or 2 files. Large ones like Flex or OS9 fail or get stuck on track 0-2.Not sure on the DragonDrive problems, do said VDKs work in the machine without the new PSU?
I really am not having much luck with the Dragons apart from reviving the 32. The Dragon drive is my second floppy controller as somewhere I have another floppy controller board which I used with a HxC drive but it also failed and I couldn't adjust it so got the Dragondrive.
I have listed both machines separately on our local auction site. Assuming they don't sell (The reserve are what I would sell them for not low) I will probably do this next week. At the moment the new PSU is installed in the D32.As the 'designer**' of the new PSU board I'm perplexed too.

One thing that I just remembered is that I have a Drivewire unit here somewhere and a multi rom card so I could burn dos onto an eprom and try with the drive wire.
