 ====== NEC FD1157C ======
+The FD1157C is a 5.25" double sided high density floppy drive made by NEC.
+It uses a metal belt mechanism to facilitate head movement and locks the disk with a lever. Head loading is done with a solenoid.
+It uses the [[#g9zhf|G9ZHF]] control board and the FDM-530BQ, GFS-505 or DR-9324 motor board.

+==== Head cover coming loose ====
+Over time the foam the adheres the head cover to the head assembly degrades and the head cover will fall off.
+While not being critical it is recommended to fix this issue.

+The Head cover repair can be performed by following these steps:
+  - Clean the head cover and the head assembly of any remaining glue and foam as best as possible.
+  - Cut out a small rectangle of neoprene sealing tape.
+  - Glue the rectangle to the head cover with the adhesive side facing up.
+  - Let the glue dry completely.
+  - Attach the head cover to the head assembly using the adhesive side.
+===== Modifications =====
+==== 84 track seeking ====
+Not all drives will be able to seek 84 tracks without some moderate modification.
+{{:5_25_floppy_drives:nec_fd1157c:mod_84tracks_1.jpg?200|}}
+The modification can be performed by following these steps:
+  - Unscrew the end stop screw on the stepper motor until it no longer protrudes out the other side.
+  - Re-align the tracks with a front bias, make sure that track 83 can be reached.
