- Hi!
-
- I just pulled my old SuperPET SP9000 and CBM 8050 dual-5.25"-floppy drive
- out of the attic.
-
- Problem: the 8050 won't spin up either drive when I try to read from it
- ("directory", etc.). The SuperPET just hangs. The drive LEDs flash
- red/green six times, pause, repeat, and continue as soon as it's powered
- up.
-
- Neither drive motor spins up.
-
- Any technicians around willing to help do an email diagnosis?
-
- Thanks!
