   Arghh...not another problem with floppy    
   03 Dec 22 18:55:13   
   
   From: anonjh@gmail.com   
      
   I upgraded my power supplies in my model 3 (since the originals smoked/caught   
   on fire}.  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
