Hi Hans
It just occurred to me that your system may have the
same problem mine did when I first got it. I was
seeing occasional bad reads. I took the drives apart
to clean the heads when I noticed something funny.
Both disk drives had terminators installed. I removed
one of these and my problems went away.
It was such a long time ago that I'd forgot about it.
While tracing down signals for my 512K fix, I noticed
the terminator R-Pack that I'd taped to the disk drive
( I try to follow the first rule of intelligent tinkering:
"Save All the Pieces" ). I had to go back through the
thought process of why it was there. Eventually, I
remembered that you were having drive problems. Strange
how the mind works sometimes.
