Please help me. I've got a Spectre 128 and a Translator One. I have been
unable to format a Mac disk with my drives. I called Data Pacific and
they said if my drives are more than 1% fast the format will not work.
My drives checked out at 304.5 rpm. My question is:can you adjust the
speed on a (green lighted)TDK drive? I've looked at the board on the drive
drive itself and found one adjustable pot. Is this the speed control?
I'm not sure of the exact number on the drive, seemed like it was TDK14
or something like that. Anyone out there done this? successfully??
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
