I've only encountered that maybe 5% of the time; usually it loads OK.
Right now, my problem is that power regulation has gotten bad enough
that the thing periodically resets itself after it warms up, and I
haven't had a chance to fix it.
It doesn't load at all if you try to load it with the top up, of
course, but I've had very little problem with the airflow with the
missing front door. I'm sure it's not great dust-wise, but it's
damn near impossible to find a replacement these days (I managed to
find replacement rack rails, since mine only came with the inner
part for some reason).

didn't even have a front door when I got it. There's an easier
solution than using the maintenance mode: disconnect the door lock
solenoid. If it doesn't fire, it doesn't actuate the "door open"
switch, and it's not like it's locking anything if the door isn't
there. It's a simple quick-disconnect terminal.
We _are_ talking abotu the same drive, right? The rebadged Cipher F880,
the one you put a reel of tape in the slot and it automaically treads up?
My experiece of bot hthe TS05 and the F880 is that they d not eeliably
load if the door is missing. The airflow is not right and it doesn't
always get the leader off the spool.
