Hello:
I'm brand new to the Atari ST world, and I've just acquired a 520STFM. It has a bad floppy drive. However, it appears that the only thing wrong with it is the drive belt -- it's very loose and worn. Is there any place that sells replacement belts? Or does anyone know the specs so I can order a generic belt?
I do have an old EPSON PC floppy drive. I was able to change the drive number to 0 and it does work fine with the ST. The only problem with this solution is the drive face doesn't really work with the STFM case without some modifications. I'd rather repair the ST drive if possible.
Thanks.
