Found Acorn Electron PRES Plus 3 or 4 Disk Drive Interface

[Paradroid90]

Good Morning My Fellow Amibayers

Now I have sourced a Plus 1 for my Electron, I am now needing a Disk Drive interface for my Elk.

I know it might be a long shot, but I am hoping that someone my have a Advanced PRES Plus 3 or Plus 4 Interface in their collection, they are willing to part with

With a 3.5 Inch Disk Drive, would be great but the stand alone unit will be useful as I will get a 3.5 inch compatible drive made

Thanks as always for you help and support in advance

Hi Paradroid90,
I think I still have an original Slogger Pegasus400 PCB (unpopulated or half built) if you are interested. I could build it for you if you like. More info on the board here: http://www.retro-kit.co.uk/page.cfm/content/Slogger-Pegasus-400/

I can sort a drive out for you buddy, if you want Bryce to mail it to me then I can shove the ADFS rom in there for you too.

I am sorting out the ROMs and drive for him too, but if you can get a drive to him for cheaper (they're heavy), then maybe he should take that offer up instead. Then I'd just send him the board and cable.

Hi Guys, Just sent a PM to Bryce, and as TC has the Elk to post on as well I will take up TC's kind offer to sort out the 3.5 inch floppy drive for the Slogger Board

Gentleman you are both legends and owe you both a pint

Careful! I'm actually in your neighbourhood on occassions. I might turn up on your door-step looking for that pint

Hi Guys,
regarding the PCB error on the Pegasus boards, here's a picture of where it was and a picture from under my microscope of the actual unwanted bridge.
(For others who might also have one of these NOS Pegasus boards they intend to build. Beware, there are manufacturing mistakes on some of the close tracks. Do a good visual check before you start filling the PCB with components!)

All finished and tested. Here's what's going in tomorrows post...
