PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

ENVIRONMENT

Computers perform best In a clean, cool area that is below 80 degrees Fahrenheit and free of dust and smoke particles. Even
though home Computers are not affected by cigarette smoke as much as commerCial Computers are affected, It is better to
maintain a smoke-free area around the Computer. Do not block cabinet vents of any of the Computer system; Computer,
Monitor, Printer, or other power devices.

ELECTRICAL POWER

Variations In the line voltage can affect the Computer. Try to avoid these fluctuations by using an AC receptacle that is on a ~
power line not used by appliances or other heavy current demand devices. A power-surge protector, power-line conditioner, or
non-Interruptable power supply may be needed to cure the problem. Do not switch power On and Off frequently. m~
g
r-."
KEYBOARD ~::;;

liquids spilled into the Keyboard can ruin it. Immediately after a spill occurs, disconnect the Computer power plug from AC ~
power outlet. Then, if circuitry or contacts are contaminated, disassemble the Keyboard and carefully rinse the Keyboard -
printed circuit board with distilled water and let it dry. Use a cotton swab to clean between the keys. Use a non-abrasive con-
tact cleaner and lint-free wipers on accessible connectors and contacts.

DISK DRIVES

Clean the read/write heads of the Disk Drives about once a month or after 100 hours usage. Use only an approved head clean-
ing kit.

Handle carefully to preserve proper disk head alignment. A sudden bump or jolt to the Disk Drives can knock the disk head out
of alignment. If the disk drive must be transported, place an old disk in slot and close door during transport.

Store disks in their protective covers and never touch the disk surface. Observe the disk handling precautions usually found
on the back of disk protective covers.

PRINTERS

Carefully vacuum the Printer regularly. Wipe surface areas clean using a light all-purpose cleaner. Do not oil the machine.
The oil will collect abrasive grit and dust. The dust will act as a blanket. This can cause components to overheat and fall.

STATIC ELECTRICITY

Static electricity discharge can affect the Computer. In order to minimize the possibility, use anti-static mats, sprays, tools
and materials, and maintain good humidity in the Computer environment.

MONITOR

Use an Isolation transformer with any Monitor that does not come a. part of the system since aome Monitors ua. a HOT
chaaais (chaaais connected to one aide of the AC line). The face of the Monitor ahould never be left on for long p.rloda of time
at high brlghtneaa level except when pattern Is being changed periodically. Use caution when cleaning anti-glare lerMnl, to
preserve the glare-reduction feature.

 TROUBLESHOOTING
POWER SUPPLY
Connect the Disk Drive to the Computer. Insert a blank
diskette Into the Disk Drive and turn On the Computer. Con-
nect the negative lead of a voltmeter to TP3 and positive
lead to the emitter of Switch Transistor (01) and check for
11.6V. Check for 11.6V at the collector of Transistor 01, and
for 10.8V at the base of Transistor 01. If the voltage Is miss-
Ing at the emitter or the collector of Transistor 01, check
the connector cable and the interface board . If the voltage
Is missing from only the base of Transistor 01, check Tran-
sistor 01 by substitution. Check for 5V at the positive lead
of Electrolytic C4, and check for -12.0V at the negative
lead of Electrolytic C5.
WARNING
It is possible for a defective Disk Drive to write on or erase
information on a diskette even when the diskette is write
protected. Check a questionable Disk Drive by first using a
diskette that contains programs that have been duplicated
on another diskette.
DIRECT OPERATION OF DISK DRIVE
Pin 14 of Connector J1 and pin 10 of Connector J1 can be
controlled from the Computer keyboard. If two Disk Drives
are being used, the Disk Drive being selected can also be
controlled from the Computer keyboard. To perform the
desired operation put the Computer In Monitor mode. Type
(Call-151), press Return key, then type the hex number from
the chart that follows for the desired operation and press
Return key.
NOTE: The Disk Drive interface board must be connected to
slot 6 of the Computer for the following hex numbers to
work.

WILL NOT WRITE
If the Disk Drive does not write information onto a non-write
protected diskette when using Computer k~'y.board com-
mands, check for a Low logic reading lrrf'pll1'2trM'e'onnec-
tor J1. If the reading is High, check for a Low logic reading
on pin 1 and pulses on pin 2 of IC4B. Check the Notch
(Write Protect) Switch (S1).

If the readings have been norlBal to this point, check for a
Low logic reading on pln"'fO ol"tonnector J1. Check for
pulses on the collector of Switch Transistor (02) located on
the analog board. The pulses may also be noted at the
erase section of RIW,E Head (M3) and are only present when
the Save function is in progress.
Check for pulses at pins 1 and 5 of the Write Amp IC (3A). If
the pulses are missing, check voltages and logic readings
associated with pins 2, 4, 6 and 8 of IC 3A. Check for pulses
at pins 5 and 6 of IC 4B while the Save function is in pro-
gress. If the pulses at pins 1 and 5 of IC 3A are present,
check Diodes CR1 and CR2. Also check the resistance of
all sections of Head M3. Check Switch Transistor (02)
located on the analog board and associated components.
WILL NOT READ
If the Disk Drive does not read from a diskette, insert a
diskette Into the Disk Drive and close the door, the diskette
must be fully loaded with programs to ensure that RIW,E
Head (M3) will be'readlng information from the diskette.
Check for Low logic reading at pin 14 of Connector J1.
Check voltages, waveforms and logic readings associated
with pins 7 thru 10 and 13 thru 18 of Read Amp IC (1 B). If
any of the waveforms are missing, check the voltages and
associated components of the missing waveform.
DISK DRIVE WILL NOT RUN
Check the power supply source voltages, refer to the I:

normal, check the winding resistance of Drive Motor (M1) or _
check Motor M1 by substitution. If Motor M1 speed is not -
constant, check the voltages and waveforms on pins 1 thru
8 of Speed ControllC (IC1) and check the adjustment of the
Speed Control (VR1).
STEPPER MOTOR INOPERATIVE
Check the voltages on pins 11 thru 14 of the Driver IC (40).
If all the voltage readings are not approximately 11.6V,
check the resistance of the associated winding of Stepper
Motor (M2). Check for 11.6V at pins 11 and 12 of Connector
J2. Check for short to ground between any of pins 9,11,12,
13 and 14 of IC 40. If any pins are shorted, check IC 40 by
substitution. If IC 40 checks good and Motor M2 checks
normal, check the Disk Drive interface board by substitu-

 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BOOTING THE DISK OPERATING SYSTEM (DOS)
Insert a diskette containing DOS Into Disk Drive 1, and turn
On the Computer. The Computer will automatically load
DOS and come up In Basic mode, If DOS3.3 Is used.
If PROD05 Is used the Computer will come up with menu of
PRODOS features on the Monitor screen .
Type LOAD and the program name, then press the Return
key to load a program from the diskette.
Type SAVE and the program name, then press the Return
key to save a program on the diskette.
USING BLANK DISKETTES

To boot from Basic mode, type PRNS or INNS and press the
Return key. With no diskette In the Disk Drive, the Disk
Drive will continue to run until a diskette is inserted or the
Control and Reset keys are pressed at the same time.
DOS can be rebooted by pressing the Open Apple key (key
with Apple symbol, located on left side of space bar), Con-
trol key and Reset key at the same time.
A blank diskette must be initialized (DOS3.3) or formatted
(PROD05) before it can be used to save data. To initialize a
diskette using D053.3, boot DOS from a diskette containing
DOS3.3 then remove the D053.3 diskette and Insert a blank
diskette In Disk Drive 1. Type INIT HELLO and press the
Return key. The diskette will be Initialized when the drive
stops. NOTE: Any information on diskette will be over-
written .

OPERATING THE DISK FROM BASIC MODE (DOS3.3 or
PRODOS)
Type CATALOG and press the Return key to get a list of the
programs which are on the diskette. Type CATALOG, 01 for
Disk Drive 1 or CATALOG, 02 for Disk Drive 2 if the current
Disk Drive Is not the one desired.
If PROD05 Is being used, select the PROD05 FILER (press
key F) from the menu that comes up when PRODOS Is
booted up. Select Volume commands (press key V) from
the second menu that comes up. Then select Format A
Volume (press key F) from the third menu that' comes up. In-
sert the blank diskette into the Disk Drive and follow the In-
structions on the Monitor screen to format the diskette.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: To protect RIW,E Head (M3), insert a protective Remove four screws from bottom edges. Pull cover back
cardboard disk p r a blank diskette Into Disk Drive before and 11ft off. Remove four flat head screws holding bottom
disassembly. cover. Release plastic wire clip at rear of bottom cover and
remove cover.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Remove power from the Disk Drive before servicing or Installing electrostatically sensitive devices. Examples of typical
ES devices are Integrated circuits and semiconductor · chlp · components.

2. Use extreme caution when handling the printed circuit boards. Some semiconductor devices can be damaged easily by
static electricity. Drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Wear a commercial-
ly available discharging wrist strap device. This should be removed prior to applying power to the unit under test.

3. Use a grounded-tip, low voltage soldering iron.

4. Use an Isolation (times 10) probe on scope.

5. Do not remove or Install boards with power On .

S. Do not use freon -propelled sprays. These can generate electrical charges suffiCient to damage semiconductor devices.

7. The Disk Drive cabinet Is equipped with vents to prevent heat build-up. Never block, cover, or obstruct these vents.

8. Instructions should be given, especially to children, that objects should not be dropped or pushEld into the vents of the
cabinet. This could cause shock or equipment damage.

9. Never expose the Disk Drive to water. If exposed to water turn Off the unit. Do not place the Disk Drive near possible
water sources_

10. Never use liquids or aerosols directly on the Disk Drive. Spray on cloth and then apply to the Disk Drive cabinet. Make
sure the Disk Drive Is disconnected.
