Hi if I remember right the European 128D is different than the U.S. made 128DCR, but maybe some things are similar. I have 3 128DCR's and they all had the same problem. There was a guy in the U.S. Al Anger that did a hack years ago, what this does is you cut one trace and solder onto the pad of the cut trace and 2 other traces you solder wires onto, on the other end of these wires you solder the wires to a simple OFF/ON toggle switch. This totally disables the internal 1571 controller board, but the usual IEC serial port is not affected and you can then use Device#8 since the internal 1571 ties this up (really frustrating). But Im not sure if the Plastic European 128D internal 1571 circuit is on a separate board or on the Motherboard? I think Al was doing this on a 128DCR, but I can find out if he included the European model. I did this hack to one of my 128DCR's and the annoying problem of disks has gone away and the only real solution I can think of. I will look for the paper for this hack and post again. -- View this message in context: http://cbm-hackers.2304266.n4.nabble.com/C128D-1571-issue-tp4660228p4660294.html Sent from the cbm-hackers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
