Profile disk

I recently acquired a Apple Profile drive. It’s case did got damaged in transit but it was repairable.

On YouTube there are some video’s how the disk starts up, so I knew where to look for. I thought it would be nice to film the first and second startup up and have a close up at the stepping motor.

I post some pictures and the movies here.

If I have news about the actual condition ( will it work....) I will post it also here.

Some pictures:

Some more pictures. Before shipping. To complete the information about this disk. The disk runs at 110V. I have an inverter.

Good score. I had to recap the power supply in mine.

The videos are mesmerizing, I love it starting up.

I connected it to my internal paralel cable to an 'in between cable' , a DB25 male male Lisa paralel cable and tested. Works fine! I could install a fresh system on it with the help of my FlopyEmu.

5MB back to live!
