   Mega STE partially defect ... hints welc

   Hi,   
      
   after I tried several times to get a SCSI DCAS 34330 drive up and   
   running with my Mega STE (without success), I expirienced a non-working   
   second (external) SF-314 floppy and also the original Seagate ST157N   
   can't be accessed after rebuilding the original hardware configuration.   
   Surprisingly the internal floppy drive works well, and the computer   
   shows the GEM desktop as usual.   
   If the DMA chip died, I guess the internal floppy drive would not work,   
   too. So it's a mystery for me what can be defect... may be I have moved   
   the little ACSI pcb also a bit (because of the short SCSI cable), but at   
   the moment I am totally unsure where to look first.   
   Any hints for a smart repair ?   
      
   Regards   
     Peter
