But when I put the pack in the 8/A's RL02, for
some reason it
wouldn't go Ready initially. After powering down the system and
drive, removing the pack, reinserting, etc. then it did light the
Ready light. No weird noises either. That was a relief.
The top cover interlock microwitch (no the 'brush drive assembly', even
though on most RL02s the brushes have been removed, the did more harm
than good) can be a bit touchy on these drives. It detects that the cover
is closed and that there's a pack cover in place (upside-down on top of
the pack).
Probably it didn't trup the first time you put the back in, when you
re-iserted it, and re-cloxsed the cover, it worked. You might want to
look at this, tweak the adjustments, etc.
