KryoFlux Support Forums

Today I completed the build on my Kryo unit.. Dual drive 3.5" & 5.25" .. internal power suppy with power switch at the front .. Also brought the LEDs to the front so I can monitor activity .. It was an old single 5.25" inch scsi cd drive (external) ..so had to remove the original power supply to mak...

So ..looks like I'm in business so to speak .. My only PC game on 5.25" floppy ..is from 1990 ... Leasure Suit Larry III.. I made the assumption they were 360k disks (so set MFM 40 tracks)..& I set off disk2 to image .. The returned .img file contained 2 files ..LSL3.qa and resource.002 Sadly I dont...

Mounted the Kryo board ..and the Panasonic Drive ..but oh oh ..needed a longer lead to reach a 3.5" floppy and less ribbon needed to connect the Panasonic ...so moved the edge connector IDC closer to the Kryo pcb end of the ribbon and rever...

I have a Mitsumi 3.5 inch floppy on order ..so will crack on with my drive case ..
cheers

Stripped down the Panny drive .. cleaned the heads .. freed the head sled rails.. Silicon sprayed the Stepper motor bearing and sled rails .. plus cleaned the pcb ..and FDD contact strip.. Loosly reassembled to calibrate and test.. and here is the result.. I guess this will be the drive I choose to ...

I believe it _is_ a Panasonic ...and is the one I'm attempting to renovate first ..
wish me luck..
