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
