Activity light, spindle motor?              You might want to try cleaning the drive, inspecting the PCB(s), and       recapping it if necessary. Most PS/2 floppy drives are affected by       leaking electrolytic capacitors.              Meh, we should have waited with the shipment. I might have a spare drive       somewhere.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
