These drives are well-known for suffering from drive
belt problems, which
of course results in the motor spinning but the disk not turning. Could
that be the problem with your drive?
Thanks Tony, I will put a bit of paint on the motor spindle to see if
that is moving.
If you do take the drive to bits, be careful as
there's a tiny pin as
part of the WProt sensor that falls out and gets lost!
I will look out for that.
As a point of interest, are these the same drives which are used in
either the PCW8256 or the PCW9512? IIRC one is single sided and the
other double.
