Hi All, I have a bare LNW80 expansion board and I am in two minds about what to do with it. after much scrounging I have finally collected all the components...
If it was all I had with a model I, I would build it and use it. If I already had a model III and/or a model I with expansion, I'd set it aside. I wouldn't...
... A bare board in unused condition isn't much good to anyone. If you can't bear to populate it, sell or give it to someone who will. Otherwise, get out your...

I would take some high quality scans of both sides of the bare board. Something as rare as an expansion interface could be recreated in modern PCB design...
It's useful to have these but with today's electronics components we can design a new Model I which is much smaller and more capable than the old one of those...

Excellant! I have a couple of these that don't work. This will be helpful in debugging and repairing. Remember, I have a server that they can go on if you'd...

I'm not an expert, but I have played around with Model III disks recently. Â I had to use a DOS based emulator and hooked up a 40trk DD drive to my PC's...

Kind of, but it's easier and cheaper to replace them (about $10). See Allelectronics.com or any of dozens more like it. Neil ... From: Bob Doerr Hi Please, are...

I use Matthew Reed's Windows emulator for I/III/IV. It works very well with XP. Has Model III Hi-Res support, although I've never used the feature. Tez ... ...
I'm with Ed here. Floppy drives have recently begun giving me problems on my Model III's. Drive 0 is a full-height "Percom Data" drive from 1984. Not sure, but...
Jim, I don't own a Model III but there was a long thread on the Vintage Computer Forums which dealt with a Model IV drive probem. It looks like the drive...
I am very familiar with setting floppy drives up for drive addressing. Even if the drive does not have a drive select jumper, some have a pad on the board...
