AAARRRRRRRGH! Or, how I managed to slide an SD card in my A drive slot

<< < (2/4) > >>

I doubt that you need to take it apart.  Just slide it out of the PC, turn it so the slot faces the floor, hold open the little door and shake until your card falls out.

RTSDaddy2:
The shake thing worked.  The reason it didn't work last night when I first got the  :censored: thing stuck was because Zippy here forgot to hold the drive door open so it COULD fall out.   :dunno    :banghead:

When my wife helped with it this morning, it just plopped right out.  Took the whole amount of 2 seconds.   ;D

Well, at least it wasn't a major fix!  Thank y'all! :)

(and just for the record - Malenko, man do you honestly think I'd have told THIS crowd what size floppy drive I have?  I'd have never heard the last of it had it been 5 1/4   :laugh2:)

This was my first thought. It was the most obvious route.

Gimme back my C64 with its completely infalable and parfect 1541 drive! Hell, I'll even take my ol' C128D and CP/M disks over the POS's they make these days... (and yes, I am THAT OLD)  :cry:


EDIT: Forgot to misspell perfect as well... (anyone who has ever owned a 1541 knows why I did that)

CCM:
ahh the old 1541!   I was cleaning out our storage area yesterday and came across my C64,  2 1541 disk drives, and my old EPYX joystick!  I am going to set it up this week and see if they still work!
