I picked up this Commodore 2031 floppy disk drive in a trade deal from a fellow retro computer enthusiast for use with my Commodore PET 2001 Series computer. It has an IEEE-488 interface bus and uses 5.25" floppy disks.
In this video I clean up the metal case inside and out, service the made in the USA Shugart Associates model number 390 disk drive mechanism by cleaning the read write head and drive rails, then do a smoke test. After that I connect up the drive to my Commodore PET 2001 computer and format a blank disk to make sure it can write to a floppy disk, and then load the directory.
Some of the back story about this CBM 2031 disk drive: My friend picked up this drive along with various other Commodore PET computer items from a school liquidation sale 15-20 years ago, then stored them in his outbuilding and until recently they haven't seen the light of day.

(A spoof on "No Country for Old Men"). In this journal entry I'll revisit the Epson SD-800 dual floppy drive. While connecting it to a 2007 Lenovo desktop running Windows XP trying to copy data from my collection of old 5.25 floppies over to my hard disk it didn't work. Turns out that floppies formatted in the 80's won't work on modern Windows (including XP) and so I'll need to find a way to boot into MS-DOS 6.22 and have it attach to either a HDD or USB drive to copy all of my old data over easily. Join me in some old-school MS-DOS driver configuration fun.

What's the true cost of that Nissan LEAF your neighbor is driving? How about that Chevrolet Volt? We're not talking about the cost to own; we're talking about the cost to manufacture. Sandy Munro is a manufacturing expert, and as the president of Munro & Associates, he makes it his business to figure out the smartest way to assemble cars. He recently reverse engineered the Chevrolet Volt, and as our guest this week he'll be able to tell us what it really costs to build an EV and where that expense originates. Of course, we'll also be getting into the hottest topics in the news including a discussion about what impact the 2012 election results will have on the auto industry. Joining John McElroy to talk about this and a whole lot more is the Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo, and Joe White from The Wall Street Journal.

The floppy disk was a ubiquitous technology for nearly 40 years. From mainframes to home computers, the plastic disk was everywhere. And in the decades it was around there were very few changes made to how it fundamentally worked. So how did it get so popular? What made the floppy disk so flexible? And how did it finally fall out of favor? In this episode we will look at the technology's early days.

Shugart Associates
Shugart Associates was a computer peripheral manufacturer that dominated the floppy disk drive market in the late 1970s and is famous for introducing the 51⁄4-inch minifloppy floppy disk drive.
Founded in 1973, Shugart Associates was purchased by Xerox in 1977. In the early 1980s the name was changed to Shugart Corporation. Xerox exited the business in 1985 and 1986, selling the brand name and the 8-inch floppy product line to Narlinger Group (in March 1986). Narlinger promptly rebranded itself as Shugart Corporation and continued as such into the early 1990s. Under Narlinger management, Shugart acquired several discontinued product lines such as the Optotech 5984 Write Once Read Many (WORM) drive.
History
Alan Shugart, after a distinguished career at IBM and a few years at Memorex, decided to strike out on his own, and in 1973 he gathered up some venture capital and started Shugart Associates. The original business plan was to build a small-business system (similar to the IBM 3740) including the development of all of the major components, including floppy disk drives, a printer, etc. After two years the seed money was gone and Shugart had no product to show for it. The Board wanted to focus on the floppy disk drive but Shugart wanted to continue the original plan. Official company documents state that Shugart quit, but he tells the story another way, that he was fired by the venture capitalists. Shugart went on with Finis Conner to found Shugart Technology in 1979, whose name was changed to Seagate Technology in response to a legal challenge by Xerox.

The floppy disk was a ubiquitous technology for nearly 40 years. From mainframes to home computers, the plastic disk was everywhere. And in the decades it was around there were very few changes made to how it fundamentally worked. So how did it get so popular? What made the floppy disk so flexible? And how did it finally fall out of favor? In this episode we will look at the technology's early days.

I picked up this Commodore 2031 floppy disk drive in a trade deal from a fellow retro computer enthusiast for use with my Commodore PET 2001 Series computer. It has an IEEE-488 interface bus and uses 5.25" floppy disks.
In this video I clean up the metal case inside and out, service the made in the USA Shugart Associates model number 390 disk drive mechanism by cleaning the read write head and drive rails, then do a smoke test. After that I connect up the drive to my Commodore PET 2001 computer and format a blank disk to make sure it can write to a floppy disk, and then load the directory.
Some of the back story about this CBM 2031 disk drive: My friend picked up this drive along with various other Commodore PET computer items from a school liquidation sale 15-20 years ago, then stored them in his outbuilding and until recently they haven't seen the light of day.

(A spoof on "No Country for Old Men"). In this journal entry I'll revisit the Epson SD-800 dual floppy drive. While connecting it to a 2007 Lenovo desktop running Windows XP trying to copy data from my collection of old 5.25 floppies over to my hard disk it didn't work. Turns out that floppies formatted in the 80's won't work on modern Windows (including XP) and so I'll need to find a way to boot into MS-DOS 6.22 and have it attach to either a HDD or USB drive to copy all of my old data over easily. Join me in some old-school MS-DOS driver configuration fun.

What's the true cost of that Nissan LEAF your neighbor is driving? How about that Chevrolet Volt? We're not talking about the cost to own; we're talking about the cost to manufacture. Sandy Munro is a manufacturing expert, and as the president of Munro & Associates, he makes it his business to figure out the smartest way to assemble cars. He recently reverse engineered the Chevrolet Volt, and as our guest this week he'll be able to tell us what it really costs to build an EV and where that expense originates. Of course, we'll also be getting into the hottest topics in the news including a discussion about what impact the 2012 election results will have on the auto industry. Joining John McElroy to talk about this and a whole lot more is the Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo, and Joe White from The Wall Street Journal.

Found this 10mb drive in a bargain bin, and remembered having the same model in a 286 powered machine I used to use. What made it stand out in particular was the sound of the drive's spindle motor, which is just beyond definition. Many years ago I took this same drive apart to see what made this noise, and found that it was the spindle motor... But before it started to spin. Nothing else is in motion. Quirky little bit of nostalgia.

Shugart Associates
Shugart Associates was a computer peripheral manufacturer that dominated the floppy disk drive market in the late 1970s and is famous for introducing the 51⁄4-inch minifloppy floppy disk drive.
Founded in 1973, Shugart Associates was purchased by Xerox in 1977. In the early 1980s the name was changed to Shugart Corporation. Xerox exited the business in 1985 and 1986, selling the brand name and the 8-inch floppy product line to Narlinger Group (in March 1986). Narlinger promptly rebranded itself as Shugart Corporation and continued as such into the early 1990s. Under Narlinger management, Shugart acquired several discontinued product lines such as the Optotech 5984 Write Once Read Many (WORM) drive.
History
Alan Shugart, after a distinguished career at IBM and a few years at Memorex, decided to strike out on his own, and in 1973 he gathered up some venture capital and started Shugart Associates. The original business plan was to build a small-business system (similar to the IBM 3740) including the development of all of the major components, including floppy disk drives, a printer, etc. After two years the seed money was gone and Shugart had no product to show for it. The Board wanted to focus on the floppy disk drive but Shugart wanted to continue the original plan. Official company documents state that Shugart quit, but he tells the story another way, that he was fired by the venture capitalists. Shugart went on with Finis Conner to found Shugart Technology in 1979, whose name was changed to Seagate Technology in response to a legal challenge by Xerox.
