Alignment disk for A1000
« on: August 04, 2017, 08:30:33 PM »
As part of my ever-continuing saga to image old disks in my possession, I came across one called Align Disk, or something similar. It's got an official Commodore/Amiga label and part number, and I assume it must have been sent to dealers/service techs to help realign A1000 floppy drives. Interestingly, it presents to the system as a Kickstart disk! (i.e., shows up as DF0:Kickstart on the Workbench).

Is this known to the community? Has anyone seen this before?

I don't believe it's one of those - I think it's older than that, from when the A1000 was the only Amiga on the market.

I'm almost certain that this was a service department tool and that end users wouldn't have gotten it. I like the oscilloscope theory. I'll have to fire it up in *UAE to see what it looks like.
