[sebhc] unpacking and ressurecting...

[Walter Moore]

I had a similar problem with one of the FDD-100-5 drives, and traced it to a
bad 75472 (IC 4FB).  It could not hold one of the stepper lines low.  I
would compare the outputs of 4FA and 4FB with the good drive if possible.

I have a stack of these drives if you need to borrow one.  I haven't done
any lubrication to the stepper motors, and I still haven't ordered my
alignment disks, but I could loan you one that at least passes the heath
diagnostics.

I also have a spare 75472 if you determine that is the problem.
