Thanks Joe but it won't be necessary. The PAT-2 is a Dyson unit and I think
that is the unit Don was talking about, not the Magnum-25. It looks like I
have about 4 - 6 of the Dysan units and hopefully at some point I will have
time to check them out. There were a number of other disk testers in the lot
that all came from a person who repairs floppy and hard disks. I would like
to get schematics on these units though!

There was a lot of other stuff included in this lot; a SWTPC 6800 computer
manual, probably eight Mac Plus, Classic, SE computers, documentation on a
number of older floppy disks, a MAC SE still in the box, and a lot of other
similar stuff. What I am mostly interested is the documentation. I might add
that this was all free and what I didn't take ended up at either the recycle
yard or the dump. It pays to build a network of friends who can let us know
when something like this is taking place!!!!!
