How is DS0 line activated? As far as I know the
sequence should be:
- Activate DS0, motor starts to run
- Activate "head load" so the heads can do their job
- Read/write
Since your motor is always on, seems that you have
DS0 activated
permanently. Isn't something wired wrong?

As a matter of fact, the motor did run constantly on many 8" drives (remember
that many had 110V AC motors).
