I know that the 1541-II could come with a direct drive mechanism, but you could also end up with a belt driven Newtronics in them. I have one of those. My two OC-168 are both direct drive. >> looks more sturdy, it is more compact than a 1541 or even 1541-II, uses a metal case and is a full TTL implementation, meaning no custom chips. > > Do you remember how the analogue section was solved there? All discrete or something like in 1541-II? Sent you a pictures... To me it looks like all DIP, so no SMD R/W-Amp to worry about. GerritReceived on 2019-01-04 14:00:08
