Error 215 is due to corrupt memory. I suggest that you start by replacing the Lithium battery on the Mother Board. Next, remove the cable from the Floppy unit and turn on the machine with it disconnected. Goto the SYSTEM menu and find the menu "DATA

David, Assuming your machine has a WHITE controler, not a SILVER controler, there is a floppy drive inside the front panel of the controler. (Remove the top cover to reach the 50pin cable.) If Tom offers you a disk to try in the machine, go ahead. T

There are a number of manufacturers of Benchtop Hot air stations. For what you are describing, look at Hakko as well as A.P.E. (if they are still around, they made a great little machine called a ?Chipmaster?, and if you added preheat, I think you

Of the machines you have mentioned, the APE Bandit is your best bet. I had one of those in a previous employ and it was basically bulletproof, and simple enough to work on if things went wrong. Simple controllers and enough power to do the job at r
