Ruud,
I finally got my logic probe and checked the NFRD signal.
When the 2031 is turned on it is Hi but then goes (and stays) Lo.
Contrast that with my working 2031 which starts Lo but then
goes (and stays) Hi. Neither were connected to the computer
when I turned them on.
I checked past FB8 and it is also Lo. What do you mean
by other I/O ICs in the drive since it looks like NFRD is output
only.
Thanks,
Bryan
