NEW! Totally Rewritten from the Ground Up!
That's right, we just completely overhauled FloppyTune to make it easier to use and calibrated to modern high-speed computers. The new user interface is the same world-class interface that our PC Clinic diagnostic program uses. It comes with many kilobytes of help, troubleshooting tips, and on-line coaches, all BUILT-IN.
FloppyTune comes with a manual, Marauder head cleaning diskette, and Spiral Track alignment diskette in a compact floppy-sized box. You may choose either the 3.5-inch, 5.25-inch, or deluxe version that handles both sizes. Each alignment diskette works in high and double-density drives, and is guaranteed for 300 uses. Each cleaning diskette is guaranteed for 180 ten-second uses. Replacements are available from pcwiz inc.
No Special Tools
FloppyTune users modern, patented technology. With ordinary knowledge of the PC, you can clean the heads, run the software, and assess the condition of the drive. Then, you can use the on-screen display and a normal screwdriver to align the heads, without an oscilloscope or other expensive equipment.
To use the kit, run the FloppyTune program under DOS 3.0 or later. The user- friendly menu system requests you to insert the alignment diskette into the test drive. Then it allows you to perform the following operations.
Run a quick set of go / no-go tests
Run a set of parametric tests
Adjust the head alignment
Modify the test pass/fail limits
Save test results as new standard
Print a quality certification report
FloppyTune
runs tests like no other product in the world, using our proprietary
"Spiral Track" technology. As a result, you get accurate results and a
clear understanding of how your floppy drive is performing. It executes the 11
major tests shown in the below table. The tests loop while you make adjustments.

FloppyTune
tests all alignment characteristics to within .2 mils and is repeatable to
within .3%, similar to what you would expect in a laboratory. Measurements
conform to ANSI (American National Standards Institute) floppy definition. So,
if your drive passes FloppyTune, it is compatible with internationally accepted
standards.
You
should use FloppyTune quarterly, or after a drive has been shipped, repaired,
installed, or replaced. Here's why: moving a drive can jar and misalign the
heads or sensors. Extended use wears and dirties the heads and positioner. The
spindle or diskette clamp can wear or break. Maybe the drive was not adjusted
properly at the factory, and has NEVER worked right since you bought it.
You WILL notice
read/write errors and lost data. Floppies you create may read perfectly on your
drive, but not on someone else's. The drive may read or write okay, but the
system won't boot from it. Worst of all, you may destroy data on a good diskette
by writing to it just once with a misaligned drive. The resulting disastrous and
unexpected data loss can cost you tremendously, especially if you really needed
the lost data.
About half the time, the drive only needs cleaning
and alignment, a quick job. Often, upon encountering such problems, service
"experts" replace the drive, which takes much longer. A new drive may
cost a repair man only £30, but the system owner's cost can be £75 to £150,
including parts and labour, and THERE IS NO GUARANTEE A NEW DRIVE IS PROPERLY
ALIGNED! With FloppyTune, much of the repair and replacement cost can be
avoided. So buy FloppyTune today. It saves time for technicians and money for
customers.
