Everything looks good when I reboot EXCEPT now the       previously working floppy drives no longer do. I tested the power supply       voltages and they look okay. I hooked up        several different floppy drives and they all do the same thing....basically       nothing. When I boot the crt says "Diskette?" and the floppy drive is       connected but the led never lights up or spins...I don't think its a bad       floppy drive as it used to more or        less work (some errors, needed cleaning} when booting before I took the model       3 apart. Any ideas? Please don't tell me it's the floppy controller....much       more cost/work to fix that.        >        > Thanks,        > -Jeff       I tried something else. I flipped the ribbon connector around on one of the       floppy drives and the led lit up but it still didn't read the boot disk and       more or less hungup.              Totally at a loss.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
