i have a two-drive H8/H17 setup and the second drive (SY1:) has a =
problem. when i run TEST17 I can get rotational speed but the disk =
fails anything that requires read/write (it acts as if there is an =
unformatted disk in the drive). I swapped the jumper blocks with SY0: =
and the problem continues to exist, which tells me it's the drive, not =
the controller. The drive is the Siemens "garage door" type (FDD =
100-5B). I have the OEM manual that came with it but it's mostly on =
installation - not really any diagnostic information. Is there a scan of =
the service manual available somewhere?
anyone have suggestions on how to debug this? yeah I know I could try =
and buy an old PC drive on eBay but i'd prefer to try and get this drive =
working if possible (after all, I paid something like $400 bucks for =
this 25 years ago!). I don't think it's a dirty head (cleaned it not =
too long ago) but I'll check again.
thoughts welcome!
