518.0. "Western Digital WD1772 source please?" by NORGE::CHAD () Mon Jun 26 1989 18:58

Hi

Does anybody know where I can order the Western Digital WD1772 chip found as
part of the floppy logic on the ST motherboard?

Local stores I've contacted (nashua and one in MA) don't seem to have it in
any of their catalogs.

Thanks

Chad

You can almost certainly get it from Active electronics in Westboro or
Woburn.  Out-of-town ordering number (800) A-C-T-I-V-E-6. 
Westboro (508) 366-8899, Woburn (???) 932-4616.

Thanks.  I'd already called them.  The guy I talked to didn't even no about
WD until he started nosing around.  They don't have any -- no second sourced
ones either.

I think my best bet is to find someone who repairs Ataris (without
sending them all out).

518.3Best Electronics has itLEDDEV::WALLACETue Jun 27 1989 13:1619
    Best Electronics lists it in the catalog for $18.00
    
    They say they ship within 24 hours of your phone call.
    
    This is the line in the catalog:
    
    IC no.		Atari Reference no.	Price
    --------------	-------------------	-----
    1772(ST/XF-551)	CO26028			$18.00

    UPS COD is $2.20 (catalog says is the fastest way to get it)

    For local repair people you might try:
    
    Bob Fitzpatrick dba RF Microtech
    4 Carmel Dr
    N. Billerica
    508-667-8900
    
    Paul Shahood
    215 Hudson St
    Marlboro
    508-481-1851
    
    Paul is no longer doing repairs but he might have the parts
    or know where to get them fast.
