Hello, All
So today I realized that I was searching for THE END but there is a disk drive with a controller from it
and I want to connect it to the spec, but what’s the problem! The thing is that I have a spec
there is no such connector as in Search! I am posting a photo! Please help those who know! :)

Hello, I_0
YYY
I have exactly the same spec! :smile;
U; he was born without any connectors. Everything was done by hand. Firstly,
you need to find a ROM with tr-dos. Secondly, change the one in the block, and the second
drink or bite. A cable is soldered in its place - these are the address and data lines.
Some of the pins will have to be soldered to the processor or somewhere else. :v2_cheer;
After; you solder the tr-dos controller to the cable, make a hole for the cable - and that’s it
works great. I've had him alive since 1994 with this change...
Yes, I almost forgot! Be sure to change the keyboard - there are always spots there
peel off - you quickly get tired of gluing, and it doesn’t work so well...

Its controller will not work with spec. Need a controller - use it
Advanced search on the forum (because it was discussed). But first find the diagram
to your spec clone.
ZY Better start with something more harmless -
