presently, 1 for 2, for hardware resuscitation this week.
- got my new motherboard for my gaming rig, which had decided to quit POSTing after I tried to FIX THE CLOCK IN BIOS. That machine is now running again, perfectly.
- also got a disk cleaning kit for my Sony Mavica FD-73. unfortunately this model does not like to use cleaning disks, it spins for only a split second before spitting out a drive error. so getting it to read disks again is going to mean taking it apart. sighhhhh
@wildweasel huh.. my FD-75 didn't have an issue with a cleaning disk, it spun it for quite a while, that's stange
@mavica_again yeah i'd presume this revision tries to detect whether an inserted disk is magnetic when inserted, and the cleaning disk is not, so it throws the error immediately.
i'll just have to get in the mood to shove anything into this that isn't a disk 😔
