RQDX3 passes the test fine, but doesn't detect any devices. I think
I put the cables together fine and checked that today. I see the
RX50 floppy react normally in terms of signalling write protect
on the console if I stick a write protected floppy in. But the
MFM drive does not have its LED lit and never seems to seek or do
anything other than spinning. Is that normal? Are there jumpers
to take care of? (That drive came from some old SUN.)
Gunther,
I don't know, but I think I'm missing something too. Do the diags
just show a dead drive as "offline"?
I put the original RD54 back in as drive 0 and no longer get the RQDXA
errors from the diags, but both drives 1&2, RD53s, are showing as
offline RD51s. What's up with that?
