Its not that bad when you start looking at the schematics and see what they were trying to accomplish. Considering how old the design and the features they worked in with only logic chips and some analog it is pretty decent. The newer drives seem to be pretty much the same just newer versions of the chips and everything is SMT.
Jerry /Doug I was an NT10 that I showed Doug with tracks blown off the board in the logic section not the output section.
Too Complex for such a simple operation and not driving it right with that zip ----zip ---zip power application to the drive.
Too many design engineers with nothing better to do. Jerry the earlier drive was a bit simpler but it still is wrong --is yours in that plastic orange /Black box??
