Dear all,
I just obtained a TSZ07, and of course promptly tried to load a tape.
The drive blows for a while, rotating the front hub, routinely seems
to get the tape about halfway through the serpentine path, then emits
an error message "5F MOTOR FAULT". The rear hub seems to be moving at
least some, the front hub works the way I remember these units working.
(Ok, _my_ memories are of 1600bpi Cipher-badged units from my Prime
days.)
Any suggestions, or am I screwed?
Thanks,
Dennis Boone
