I just fixed a 5.25 floppy drive with some JB weld. It worked great for glueing broken plastic piece to metal. I did not think it was going to work as the plastic part was badly damaged but it worked. This glue is very strong. I previously tried Crazy glue but that did not hold. I have used JB weld …

I have a few Teac FD-55GFR 1.2mb floppy drives and have never seen the the top read head cover come off. Is it possible someone had pried it up, maybe a RMA thing or thinking it would help clean/fix it ? I would try some plastic epoxy on the 4 corners (with the metal plate in place) using a …

Sounds like epoxy is pretty well the consensus - I'll pick some up tomorrow, if I can with everything going on, and try it out! I sincerely appreciate everyone's input, and if successful, I appreciate it all the more. Thank you all! And whatever adhesive was there is white and only on the areas of …

Well, I need help with an old floppy drive... I picked up an old Teac FD-55GFR some months ago. It's a beautiful drive, it works well, and I'd love to use it more, but it has a bit of an age-related flaw related to a metal piece that goes on top of the drive head. It appears that, once upon a time, …

Wow, I honestly thought this thread was all but dead. I'd given up on hoping for replies nearly two months ago. I really appreciate everyone coming in with a ton of really interesting and valuable input. For once, I have answers, and lots of them! :) @mateusz: That... explains a fair lot. That's …

No luck with changing the SET MIDI; status quo remains. Boo. So I am curious - is this an AWE64 issue in general? Is MIDI only output through the SPDIF port in DOS on an AWE64 Gold, as I partly suspect? I've been unable to find a definitive answer to either.

Yes, the MFBEN jumper is in place. I know it doesn't need to be there unless I'm using AWEUTIL for emulation, which it seems I have to do. Would removing it help, maybe, possibly, somehow? And I've not tried SYNTH 2 yet; it was at the default SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0 until yesterday, when I changed MAP …

I am having a very strange issue that's plagued be since I got my AWE64 Gold. In Windows 98SE, everything works beautifully and brilliantly, no issues whatsoever. In DOS 7.1 however, everything is beyond unstable. In various games, namely X-Wing and TIE Fighter, the sound effects play beautifully …
