   I just bought an 8580 and as expected, the floppy doesn't work. It's one of   
   the type 3 25MHz planars and the drive is a MF355C-599MA. It turns on fine,   
   but without a floppy drive I can't load a refdisk and use the machine. I   
   replaced the capacitors on    
   the floppy and nothing has changed. No significant corrosion either. The drive   
   has absolutely no signs of life (no spindle spin, no head movement). When I   
   got it, the 5V fuse was blown on the floppy connector. Later on, I   
   accidentally blew the 12V fuse    
   too while poking around with my multimeter (the drive was not plugged in   
   then). However, even if I short the fuses to restore 5,12V power, the drive   
   does nothing. Is it likely that whatever blew the 5V fuse probably killed one   
   of the floppy's chips? When    
   I bought the machine, it also had two dead hard drives (neither would spin   
   up), and one of the drive's power connectors was shorted to ground. Maybe one   
   of them caused the problem...
