Pardon the nag. If anyone has any clues on working on these drives, or thoughts about someone who can fix them (cost?) would be greatly appreciated. Is this drive a rebadged F-880?

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 ------- End of Forwarded Message
