Subject: Re: Opening up an RD54 Disk
Very *non*-destructive. I want to see if the heads move when I start the
disk up.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice?
Why do you wnt to do this ('how destructive can it be' :-))?
I susme if you remove the obvious screws on top of the HDA, the cover will
come off, but it may well be stuck on the gasket. Have you tried cafeully
prising round the edges with a screwdriver?
Yes, removed all the screws and tried prising around the edges, because I
assumed the gasket would be pretty well bonded to the casing. I think I have
released the whole gasket, but it feels like there is something else holding
it down. I will try some more.
