Madman is mad! Eastbay, check out Famicomworld and look at the worshop tab. There is an article, Repair a Sharp Twin Famicom, that I wrote when I restored my Twin Famicom. I show a closeup of the 7201 board.

Look at the article, Repair a Sharp Twin Famicom2, and I show a picture of a 3206 board.

Is Tomy ever going to come out with a solution for backing up FDS games to a PC and back to FDS disks? Also, what about loading FDS images from a PC to the FDS RAM adaptor as shown in a video he released?

I meant a ready made solution. one that isn't a do it yourself kind of deal. Not all of us are good at soldering...besides the fact I have shaky hands due to nerve damage (my last job is responsible for that)

I would seriously doubt that there would be enough interest in an FDS backup solution to warrant some professionally designed product. If you have an MGD1, you've got a solution right there. You can dump and write disks.

I don't have an mgd1 nor do I know where to get one. and I don't have a 7201 fds drive nor pc cable either (making this is out of my ability now)

Tomy can't sell FDSLoadrs because they aren't his product. If you just want to playback FDS games, wait until the "FDSPak" comes out from Retrozone.

I would like to play and write fds disks since I not only have regular games (call me crazy but I actually like loading from fds disks), but I also have a large amount of game doctor fds disks I wanna back up and rewrite. Also when is FDSPak comming out? I have hear about it almost half a year ago but no news.

You're expecting a project that's been stagnant for 4 years now to be released out of the blue within 3 months of waiting?

Yeah, yes works for me too. I thought it was ready to go and then nada...

Tomy, were there too many bugs or something? Were there other holdups?

Brad Taylor, the creator of FDSLoadr has a website that documents all of his NES development including FDSLoadr. He has a nice picture of the power board that he modified for his FDS.

The site has been up since mid 2007.

Check it out: http://digilogistist.googlepages.com/

PS: I still can't get FDSLoadr to write disks.

As far as I can tell, the write function only works on Brad Taylor's FDS, since he did his own Frankensten mod, heh. As long as you have FDSLoadr, a modded FDS, Copy Master, and a TGD6 (and some other FC copiers work too), you can still write disks. FDS Loadr is optional...needed if you want to write a disk directly from your PC.
