05 -- HERE and HERE.


Thanks JC!
I've already analyzed your pics and came up with a mod for the FMD-POWER-05!
In fact that board contains more copy-protection than the FMD-POWER-04 (it also intercepts the /MOTOR ON signal), which makes the mod slightly more difficult.

How complicated are these mods exactly?

04 board: Remove a jumper, solder a wire.
05 board: Remove two jumpers, cut two traces, solder two wires.

Good deal!


**EDIT**
Further probing of my Famicom Disk System has revealed that it smells like cigars which I happen to find very appealing. I love my Famicom Disk System!

So, presumably 01 and 02 are the small board. What's 03? 04 and 05 are the large board. Is there anything higher -- 06?

Here's mine. I'm posting this here to test putting an image up since I haven't done it in a while.

I just got around to doing this. The screwdriver I keep handy is too fat to fit down into the FDS's screw holes, and I've been too damn lazy to get my other kit out of the car :D

However, mine has:

1. Full warning text above access light
2. Smaller power board
3. 7201 chip

Tupin

Mine has the full warning text, but I'm not sure if it's a 7201 or not.

Do Twins even have 7201 chips?  Since they were made in a later time, it doesn't seem they would.


My Black model Sharp twin does have a 7201 chip (the chip itself has a funny writing logo figure stamped on it)....

Tupin

Just checked mine-it's a FD3206P and has a large power board.

FFFFFFFF

My specs:
1. Full text
2. FD3206P
3. Large power board

Here's mine:
Full text on front LED
FD7201P drive chip
Large FMD POWER-05 board

I hope Im' not too late to help out
