I'll also add that too many people go into the business of re-alignment
without first cleaning the track 0 sensor.  Since everything is keyed
off of the track 0 reference, this can lead to grief later on.

Clean the sensor first and see if that doesn't clear up your alignment
issues.

Just use a known-good disk and adjust for best results.  That's about
all you can do without a calibrated reference floppy.

There were also non-scope digital alignment disks with sectors recorded
at various offsets and azimuths from ideal.  Those could be handled by
simple code that read sector IDs.

Tandon Track 0 adjustment

2021-08-27 Thread Mike Loewen via cctalk



   What's the recommended method for adjusting the track 0 switch and track 0 
stop on a Tandon TM100-2, if you don't have an alignment disk? I do have a 
scope.
