Good progress Steve,
Having just worked on Lisas, I enjoy reading the updates.
One other common problem with this type of disk drive is that the small pad
on the opposite side of disk to the read/write head is either missing or is
damaged. Worth checking for if you haven't already done so.

I inserted the Lisa Test 3.0 disk 1 and it chugs away
for a bit before
throwing a disk read error. Will try writing another copy on my mac,
since this one may have been damaged while working on the loading
mechanism.
I'm very surprised that so much appears operational given the horrible
state it arrived in. A testament to Apple's construction quality, for
sure.
Steve
