That'd do it! I've had them fail, especially in Siemens 8" drives. I've
also had them be too far out of alignment to be reliable. Joys of old
machines, right? :P
Both drives are now formatting, reading and writing! The next step is to
connect them to my Sol 20 with a Micromation Doubler FDC. The two wood-sided
units were made for each other. :-)
And finally, the drives are connected to the Sol with the Micromation
Doubler installed, running a 48K CP/M 2.2!

The system will be part of my VCF East exhibit.
