Tech Tangents | Roland MT-200 Pt1: Power Repair @TechTangents | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I got my hands on a Roland MT-200 but it needs some work to get going.
This thing is awesome. I'm happy my gamble with it being DOA payed off. The flopy drive is problematic though. Industrial type floppy drives like it are expensive on ebay so I don't think I'll end up with a replacement. I highly doubt all those floppies I tried are bad, I think maybe the heads are weak in the drive now. I've had it stop reading a disk I've made for it already so it's not getting any better either.
I had a ton of issues getting this video done, I'm happy with this as it's own thing but I would have like to have more demonstration in this. Oh well, this thing is coming back soon because it's got all my attention right now.
