(seen from ST225 manual, it's forbiden to use it from it's back .. and it's the exact position choosen by commodore) If it's not the bearings or the head stepper mechanism, it could be rf interference between the drive controller board and the main controller board. I've seen some IBM drives that would only work in certain positions because of rf interference. Try unmounting the drive and moving it as far away from the rest of the unit as possible. If it works that way, it's rf interference. Try adding a ground strap between the two boards. wlevak@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2014-01-27 19:00:05
