Hello, all:
I decided to play with my 11/34a over the holiday, and discovered that
one of my heretofore working RK05 drives has developed a chatter in the
linear positioner. Here's what happens: the drive goes OnCyl with no
problem, but on the first acccess, the OnCyl light blinks, and I get a
device error returned to RT-11.
I opened the case and watched the servo during this process and it seems
to move in and out by one cylinder during this condition. So, I figured that
there may be dirt on the positioner optics. I used compressed air to blow it
off, which had no effect.
Any clues?
