This is a utility file to delete facsimile files created by the CompleteFax |
Board or similar boards using file names with numerical extensions. Files |
are deleted based on age in the range of 1-30 days. Particularly useful to |
prevent filling up a hard disk while still preserving files for possible |
reuse. Zip file includes executable file and documentation. Written in |
Pascal. |

This file describes the alignment |
problems common to 1541's. The align- |
ment procedure described should NOT be |
attempted by someone that does not have |
either the proper fix-it skills or |
attitude. |
The early 1541's (white cased) also |
have a heat-related alignment problem. |
If the drive is on for a few hours, |
heat buildup inside affects the thin |
metal drive band that moves the r/w |
head. If you have problems saving or |
reading a file on a disk that was |
written to during a recent session, |
then this is probably the cause. |
Either shut your 1541 off when not |
using it, or place a very low CFM fan |
to blow air through the drive (you |
should filter the air going through the |
drive, but if air enters from the top, |
and it is moving slow, dust will |
settle on the board before getting in |
the drive machanism. |
The other alignment problem comes from |
extensive NEWing of disks, or from the |
errors generated by copy-protected |
software. The alignment slowly changes |
due to wear. |
The following process describes how |
to align your 1541 using the TEST/ |
DEMO disk shipped with the drive: |
Enter the following prg & save it- |
100 OPEN1,8,15:OPEN4,8,4,"#" |
110 FT=1:FT$=STR$(1):LT=35 |
120 LT$=STR$(LT) |
130 PRINT#1,"U1:";4;0;LT;0 |
140 T$=LT$:GOSUB500 |
150 PRINT#1,"U1:";4;0;FT;0 |
160 T$=FT$:GOSUB500 |
170 LT=LT-1:IFLT>0THEN120 |
180 CLOSE4:CLOSE1:END |
500 PRINT"READING TRACK:";T$ |
510 INPUT#1,EN,EM$,ET,ES |
520 PRINTTAB(12)EN;EM$;ET;ES |
530 IFEN<2 THEN RETURN |
540 PRINT:PRINT"DRIVE HAS FAILED" |
550 GOTO 180 |
(The above routine has been extracted |
from a 1541 test by Steven Niers) |
Once you have the above prg saved on |
a disk and ready to run in memory, |
unplug the 41, remove the cover (four |
screws on bottom), and remove the |
metal shield covering the circuit |
board. Next, remove the circuit board |
leaving all wires and cables attached |
(be careful of the small cable from |
the read/write heads). Set the board |
over to the LEFT side of the drive, |
placing cardboard between it and the |
metal frame of the drive - MAKE SURE |
NO part of the circuit board touches |
any metal parts of the drive! |
Look at the drive itself - There are |
two metal pulleys, with a thin metal |
drive band around them. This is the |
drive mechanism for the read/write |
heads. The rear pulley is the one |
drvien by the motor. You'll see two |
fat metal 'pegs' or bumps on top of |
it with a metal 'stop' protruding |
