No, it's not 'just like the RL01'. The
RL's have embedded
servo bursts -- tht is there are servo signals in the sector
header regions of each data surface. The same head reads the
servo signals and the data.
Correct again Tony :-) My mistake.
The RK07 has a seperate servo surface. There are 4
surfaces
(2 platters) in the pack. One surface and its head is just
servo signals. The other 3 surfaces are just user data (and
sector headers, etc).
That's what I've read too.
Just a stupid mistake to compare the RK07 with the RL02.
Ah, right.... Remember I am a hardware person and deal
with
gates and op-amps :-)
Yep, I know!
OK. It sounds like your drive is basically working.
What I'd
do at this point is look at the prints to see what should
drive the ready lamp. And then check back from the output
stage until you can find out why it's not being turned on. I
can dig out my prints and take a look too.
That's exactly what I intend to do :-) but I will first have
a look on the behaviour of the other two drives, while I'm at it.
thanks,
