RL02 Help

1) Since it doesn't spin up on its own, check the little rubber doohicky (tecnical term :-) which is mounted in the door and presses the interlock switch... if this is old, it sometimes gets a little soft and the switch doesn't get pressed enough. 2) Check that you've unlocked the heads 3) verify you have a terminator on the last drive 4) check the cabling again -- just in case it was reversed between the RL11 and the transition plate. that's all I can think of right now...
