General
The
1541
Maintenance
Guide
is
produced
to
give
a
brief,
concise
source
of
pertinent
information
necessary
for
maintenance
of
the
VIC-1541
and
the
1541
disk
drives.
Most
of
the
information
in
this
Guide
has
come
from
the
1541
Maintenance
Manual,
which
is
also
published
by
Peltier
Industries.
For
those
persons
desiring
more
thorough coverage
of
the
1541
series
of
disk
drives,
the
1541
Maintenance
Manual
is
available
through
authorized
dealers.

VIC-1541
vs.
1541
The
VIC-1541
(also
known
as
the
1540)
was
the
first
generation
of
the
1541
disk
drive.
Basically,
COMMODORE
selected
certain
discrete
components
which
were
present
on
the
VIC-1541
Disk
Controller
PC
Board
and
combined
them
in
custom
IC's.
When
they
did
this,
they
renamed
the
disk
drive
the
1541
and
changed
the
reference
designators
(schematic
identification
of
parts).
Functionally,
there
is
very
little
difference
between
the
two
versions.
Text
in
this
Guide
refers
to
the
VIC-1541.
Section
4
contains
the
1541
Disk
Controller
Schematic
and
Disk
Controller
PC
Board
Parts
Layout.
For
a
complete
discussion
of
the
differences
between
the
two
versions,
the
1541
Maintenance
Manual
may
be
consulted.
For
the
purposes
of
this
Guide,
the
following
table
and
close
inspection
of
the
1541
Disk
Controller
Schematic
will
enable
1541
owners
to
calibrate
and
troubleshoot
their
units.
1541
owners
must
cross-reference
all
test
points
before
attempting
any
of
the
procedures
in
this
Guide.
