The drive mechanism is a Chinon FB-354. I don't have any information on
it.
P.S Your e-mail comes through with each paragraph as one long line.

#74 (drive not ready), fixed by ejecting and reinserting the disk) on
lemon64.com, and someone just responded to my question saying that the
problem could be that the switch that senses if there is a disk inserted in
the drive might be dirty. And THAT reminded me of another thing I noticed
about this drive that I had completely forgotton about! I noticed that with
this drive, I can write to a disk when the write-protect switch is open!
Could these two issues be related?
