(A great deal of helpful advice.)
Great thanks to both you and Dwight for the technical details and
suggestions -- this is great information to be armed with before I set about
opening the unit and getting down to tinkering. It'll be a learning
experience for sure, but that, far more than nostalgia, is the reason I've
got all the old systems to begin with.
I'll be cracking the case as soon as I return from my holiday travels.
Between this and the Radio Shack Tech Reference, I think I'll be much better
prepared to fix without breaking.
(By the way, the write-protect mechanism in this particular drive does use a
microswitch rather than an optical sensor.)
Thanks again!
