CA2001 problem

TerraNova · Post by **TerraNova** » Sat Oct 09, 2021 8:23 am

I have a CA-2001 which worked nice. Today, however, when turned on, the engine fires, the head flies to track 39 and the engine stops. The listing attempt ends with device not respond.

point 0: check the connection of the SIO cable. Point 1: check on a different Atari. It doesn't have to be the station's fault.

I checked two cables and two computers - to no avail

But the station starts normally? I mean, on track 0, it turns the engine, and after some time on 39 and stop? Have you checked the second SIO slot? Didn't your station number change to any other than 1?

This is exactly what is happening

is track 0, the motor starts spinning, goes to track 39 and the motor stops
when I release the pressure and close it again, nothing happens - the engine is stopped and the head is still at 39

I also checked the second SIO port, I did not change the numbering. Yesterday it was working - today elo

Next in the diagram is the U7 buffer.

Well, the cables checked, plugs, dip switch too. I think I will mention this U7. Earlier, I also connected the stations to the fujinet grommet and the tape recorder to the station

But are you testing without FN?

Yes, no - Atari goals
