When I first turned the drive on, the power led & both status lights on the drives flashed in a regular pattern - 8 times. I checked & re-seated all the chips, now the lights flash in a regular 5 times pattern. Obviously there is a problem, but I can't find diagnostics for this drive anywhere, anyone know what the problem might be & how to fix it ? Reply: I was just at this site last night. There's info on the 3032 and other stuff also here: http://www.jps.net/foxnhare/commodore.html and a little bit from the FAQ relevant to your query: THE COMMODORE PET COMPUTER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FILE - VERSION 1.6 -------------Updated 07/11/1999-------------- BY LARRY ANDERSSON, COMMODORE COLLECTOR AND PET ENTHUSIAST -------------------------------------- 3040 - European 4040, like the 3000 series PETS?
