Dear Paul and westveld,
many thanks for the pictures and the hints! Those helped a lot! I was able to install everything as it should and soldered the CRT and Keyboard output on the main board, no flickering anymore, but the Keyboard socket is still weak, but with a little bit of fiddling, a minor problem.
I put the machine back together and HDD as well as Floppy drive is working. I doubt you know it, but…
I was able to run FACTORYF, it formats the disk, but in the end the Track Zero Check fails and the formatting is aborted, As I do not have all the data of the NEC5126 which is required, I put in default values for
Seek conteol byte (7)
1st red. Write cylinder (128)
1st write compensation cylinder (128)
ECC burst length (11)
Interleave factor (5)
Any thoughts on this or maybe someone is able to provide the correct values?
What I did as well is an adjustment of the CRT monitor, much sharper and brighter picture now and utilizing the full screen.
Best regards,
Martin.
