Open my old 1541-II wanted to see if can install the super tracker II. So wile I had it open got this video of it. I did 3 of them. One for Maurice Randall. It has 48K of RAM in it and I worked on Battery backing that up. But I never got that to work good.
Have a lot of switches on it. One is a reset, One for JiffyDOS. One to turn off and one track 0 because have a parallel port that uses one of the same wires. The last one switches the ROM to RAM. I have a 1541 disk that Maurice Randall made can load a 1541 ROM right in the RAM and the switch will switch to it.
Put it back together and it still works good.
Got a photo of the board here: photos.app.goo.gl/CiJFzs8kq7HtLdSe8
The photo of the drive with track 0 added.

This drive can do 47 tracks! It works. I had to file off some of the drive so it goes out to track 47 and it will move the out side jacket of the floppy out some on the last track.
