My dear friend, the legendary music man ATOO used PCM (pulse width) sampl= es and his solution to=20 the 'whining' problem was: * Use highest possible carrier frequency (I'm sure you do this, right?) * Use lowpass filtering, just like you. * Check the timing of the sampleplay loop.

It actually sounds like the carrier= istself drops in=20 frequency. I don't know how Danko & Co solved this, but they certainly was able to p= lay 8 bit samples=20 without any detectable carrier (earwise that is).=20 You can also try to use the MemBlitter, but I guess that is cheating... := -) Cheers!

Keywords: Problem, 1541 DD, help X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #4 (NOV) Hi All, An old-style 1541 disk drive of mine has developed a problem. When I tu= rn it on, all that happens is the green power light lights up, and the red e= rror light flashes periodically, whilst the motor runs continuously. I can't read the error channel, get a directory listing, or perform any I/O comma= nds. Can anyone tell me what's likely to be wrong with it, and whether the pro= blem can be easily fixed?
