Chinon FR-506 5.25" Floppy Drive Revival & Full Test – Vintage 1.2MB HD Goodness

Описание: Testing out a vintage Chinon FR-506 5.25" high-density floppy disk drive – the classic 1.2MB beast from the late 80s/early 90s era of IBM PCs, 386/486 systems, and beyond!In this video, I hook it up, run diagnostics, test read/write on both HD (1.2MB) and DD (360KB) disks, check for common issues like alignment, head cleaning, speed consistency, and that satisfying floppy seek sound. See if this old Chinon still has life in it after decades in storage! What I cover:Unboxing / visual inspection
Jumper settings & cabling (DS0/DS1, termination)
Basic spin-up and head movement test
Formatting and reading/writing real floppy disks
Any quirks, noises, or fixes needed
