I just got a Digiac model 5504 disk drive exerciser through eBay. It didn't include
any documentation. The basic features seem pretty straightforward, but I'm hoping to
find documentation to figure out the less-obvious stuff, like those "fault
enable" switches under a locking cover.
It'll probably make an appearance on my web page eventually. For now, curious folks
can see pictures of it on the eBay listing:

I plugged it into a 5.25" floppy drive and was able to start and stop the motor and
move the heads around. I'll probably try to get some alignment floppies one of these
days.
