- When the drive is powered up or reset, it does some self-check
- diagnostics. If one of the tests should fail, the drive will blink
- the LED in a repetitive pattern which signifies where the error
- occurred. (for example, three blinks might be one of the ROMs)
-
- I don't have the blink codes right at hand, however if I run across
- them I'll post them to this newsgroup. In the meantime, what specific
- blink pattern are you seeing?
