   Tandy 1000 SX Floppy Issue

   I have a Tandy 1000 SX whose floppy suddenly started working.  Powers up, but   
   motor refuses to spin.  I've tried the obvious - a different Tandy friendly   
   cable, different floppy drive, making sure the floppy drive works in another   
   PC, checked dip switch    
   settings.  None of the obvious fixed or diagnosed the issue, so I went as far   
   as to replace the controller and data separator IC chips.  Still nada     
      
   Can anything in here think of anything I am overlooking before I attempt to   
   diagnose the problem with an oscilloscope or just replace the motherboard?
