So I been playing around with these Famicom Disk System drives for a bit of which i have 2.
Both give me error 22.
From what i read error 22 could be multiple things, including Spindal misalignment
I have no way of testing my 2 test diskettes either so im not positive but maybe if they are bad this error could happen.
When i received them the belt drives were of course rotted so temporarily i used a small rubber band on each one. Maybe this is not creating the right amount of torque so I might go ahead and buy replacement belts anyways.
If you look at the diskette while the drive is reading the head is moving down the disk and the disk is spinning.
I have tried adjusting the Spindle Hub but i havent gotten any results. I tried following the guide for Spindle adjustments but im not exactly sure i am following what they are talking about, http://prntscr.com/ik808j Is there a home position i am supposed to start adjusting the Hub at? The way i gathered is, you have to position the drive head so it is at its farthest point from the spindle and hub just before the drive head starts to move back towards the spindle. This is the point where you make any adjustments so everything is synced up, Maybe thats not right?
Does anyone have any suggestions about this. Maybe it just takes alot of time to tune it just right on the spindle hub, or maybe thats not it at all.
Thanks
