Plus D Interface

I have 2 of these one an original one and one a datel version.
The datel version seems to wok ok untill you try and load a disk then the drive kicks in and starts to read and then says +sys not found, i have a sam and have read the disk in that and its there and the drive works ok on the sam.

The original one, when you press run the spectrum just says ok, if you press the magic button the border goes yellow and locks the computer.


Any help thanks.

Hmm - the one that is struggling to read the +sys file may need either the disk controller, or the EPROM replacing - try swapping these from the other one to see if you get any improvement.

I have some programmed EPROMs here (somewhere).

Hi - I don't have any replacement coils myself, but Steve Gledhill (Dataserve retro) has some for £2 each plus postage - dataserve AT hotmail DOT co DOT uk
