Hi,
It might just as easy to get another controller. For around $5.00 plus a few dollars for shipping. Contact me if you go this route.

Hi, Usually the drives wit

Hi,
Usually the drives with the DB 19 IIgs only needs it head cleaned and maybe a speed adjustment. No taking the wires on or off with the power on.

Can you test the DB-19 drive on a IIgs? To see if it fuctions.

I am not sure even if the DB-19 worked with the old 20 pin controler that it would work perfectly on the Acer. MC PriceBreaker sold an adapter cable with there controller card. But that is using Apple card.

Will send you a P.M.
