Hello everyone,
I revived a Tandy 1100FD, this is a V20 (i8088) era laptop
After much work , teardown, cleaning, floppy belt replacement, retro bright, it's working properly except for the 720KB floppy drive, that can "somewhat" read half a floppy before doing read errors.
They appear at random (some floppy that couldn't be read, can be read later on)
It's unusable.
i'd like to know more about the problem ( speed or head ), could anyone recommend a 8088-era floppy disk diag tool ?
Thanks !
