Drive 0,
having been reconnected to the 11/23, still didn't show READY,
but I *was* able to talk to it. I even went so far as to image a whole
disk cartridge to my PC without difficulty. Checking the READY
indicator bulb, I discovered the bulb was burned out. Duh! (I told you
Argh!
It's funny, this happened to me also on my second drive. I actually had
gotten into the habit of waiting for the drive to spin up so often I knew
when it was spun up by the soft "clink" it makes when it goes ready.
I didn't notice the bulb out for about a week :p
