|    Re: 1571 SPEED ADJUSTMENT FOR SUPERCARD-    |

      Well its many years later! wow, I finally disassembled the entire spindle motor        from my 1541-II that is direct drive, there is a Mitsubishi 3 phase motor       controller chip M51784P it is a 36pin chip here is the datasheet              http://www.datasheetcafe.com/m51784p-datasheet-motor-control-mitsubishi/              pin 34 says speed control, but it is currently grounded. it shows 1:1 or 1:2       not sure what would happen if it was disconnected from ground.              The 1571 has a hitachi chip HA13432 24pin chip that I cannot translate the       Japanese or Chinese to help my life, but it looks like the speed controller is       changing the R/C circuit to change the pulse modulation that the chip is       referencing to adjust speed.              https://datasheet.octopart.com/HA13432-Hitachi-datasheet-106076.pdf              this post from lord cross references connecting but not where on Lemon64              https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=66390&sid=14068c5de33f2ae59ce6524       7ffd2951a              Now if only I could figure out what pin 9 does on the 1571 Hitachi chip then       maybe this can be applied to the 1541-II Mitsubishi chip, I think ultimately       this was probably used on 5.25 1.2meg high density floppy drives and that would        be used to change        the speed from 300 to 360 rpm              have a look and if anybody can figure this one out, then please let us know.       Geez everything else has been figured out, even the PLA and the Vic Clock chip.              -BBP              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)    |
