I hope this question hasn't been asked too often(if at all), but I've
got an SF314 drive with a GREEN light and I need to slow it down just
a tad (from 304 to 300). I opened it up enough to see the component
side which indicated it was a TDK41V. There was one spot on the board
that looked like a small pot with a plus shaped indention in it. Is
this the speed adjustment?? My problem is that my Translator One/Spectre
128 can't seem to correctly format Mac disks. The suggestion I received
was to be sure the drive was as close to 300 rpm as possible. Has anyone
got any other suggestions? I would appreciate any help.
