Data General NOVA 4/C help

Thanks Rod, I feel stupid ... It would have been a simple check to see whether the floppy drive actually rotates the floppy [dumb, dumb, dumb]. I did transport the disk drive very carefully ... The trip was not bumpy, and most of it was on a (smooth) highway. Keeping fingers crossed. Checking the drive belts is a good idea! May have fallen off, I have seen that before on DEC drives (RX01, RX02). Whether the hard disk has a self test, I don't know (yet). I have the terminal connected that was used with the system, a Dasher D200. I am pretty sure that the connection is correct, but now I start having doubts. Floppy diskette still OK is the big question. Interesting system, I need to study the documentation! greetz, - Henk
