Will patch traces and reassemble tomorrow. I'll let you know if things
cooperate.
I hope it works....
A quick update: The drive spins up, comes ready and is passing the seek
test in Morrow's
FORMATHD.COM utility. The header read fails on all
sectors and all cylinders, so something is still amiss. I tried
re-writing the sector headers (if I interpret correctly, it is possible to
simply rewrite the headers without disturbing data in the sector proper -
a new one on me!) but that didn't help. No error on write, but they
cannot be read back.
I'll start poking around in the read logic next. Getting closer, anyway.
