Hi, have my ibm portable up and running again.
The unit looks brand new even got the original ibm bag floppys manual etc.
But none of the 2 qume 360k 5.25 drives work, i formatted some 360k dsdd floppy's on my 286 that have a nice hd drive working.
The qume drives TYPE HF65A-B12Q (they say ibm in the plastic front black color) refuse to boot from any floppy i do, i have read that they have speed issues and they need to have the motor speed adjusted im not sure if this is correct.
The belts look to be fine in booth units they are very clean and seem to have little use.
Somebody have experience fixing this drives ?.
Thanks!.
