Tynemouth Software recently detailed an intriguing repair of an Excelerator Plus disk drive by Oceanic, known primarily under the model FSD-2 Excelerator+Plus but occasionally marketed as Oceanic OC-118N and various generic labels.
When the disk drive arrived at Tynemouth, it was non-operational, prompting immediate troubleshooting. Initial tests revealed the issue stemmed from faulty RAM, specifically a defective V61C16P chip. After sourcing and installing a compatible replacement, the M5M5117P chip, the disk drive resumed normal operation without any further complications.
