There was a recent opportunity to do the two-color LED mod to some
Disk II drives-- i.e. A bi-color LED is swapped in for the old red "in
Use" LED. It shows Green for Reads and Red for Writes.
Additional testing during the recent work led to an improved
circuit and the discovery of an error in my description of the earlier
circuit.
First the correction. My earlier post says ...
.....
> pin 11 goes to + end of mini 10uF capacitor
> pin 12 goes to - end of the mini 10uF capacitor; and
> pin 12 goes to a 22000 Ohm resistor
.....
There is no connection to pin 12 of the 74121. The above should have
read ...
> pin 10 goes to + end of mini 10uF capacitor
> pin 11 goes to - end of the mini 10uF capacitor; and
> pin 11 goes to a 22000 Ohm resistor
The original circuit works fairly well (if you figure out that the
directions contain an error); but, breadboard tests indicate that the
74121 can not adequately source many LEDs which might be employed.
