Ah ha.? I suspect the cable is bad.? I had to repair it once and

Do we have any real RX02 experts?? My long time

RX02 seems to have decided to go on strike.? When I try to
access it now it repeatedly loads and unloads the heads but
never reads anything.? I can usually break out of it with
control-C.? Attempts to boot from it have the same effect.
Anybody else ever see this behavior?
Oh yeah, I know the controllers are good as I also have an
AK6DN emulator and it works (well up to a point, but that's
a problem for another message.? :-)

HI,
Assuming you haven't killed the media either the heads are crudded up
or the cable is partially disconnected.
FYI if the heads are crudded up the media with have a circular scratch
generally in the directory or boot areas (outer edges).? That kills the
media for reading that area.
While possible I would expect that to develop slowly and this was sudden
like.
Thanks.
