Now back to finding out why the analyser won't

isn't a broken disc drive, that would be a bit of a problem (though not an
unsolvable one: two 34pin IDC crimp-on plugs, some IDC cable, a floppy drive
power connector and a bit of soldering). The pinouts are in the Service
Manual and it looks like a (fairly) standard 300RPM 3.5in slimline drive.
What happens when you try to boot from the floppy? I haven't done
that in a while, but remember that it takes a surprisingly long time.
Have you just tried waiting a few minutes?
