… or was it a cold solder joint again? Intro Today, I’m sharing a short story about fixing the Atari XF551 5.25 floppy drive. This drive is one of the better, if not the best, stock solutions for the 8-bit Atari line of computers.

…or, how to replace your whole game room with one gadget :> Intro Right at the beginning, when the MiSTer FPGA project was released, I bought all the needed components to build my own MiSTer setup.
