Diamond D5 Wordprocessor

Hi All,

Has anyone had any experience with a Diamond D5 wordprocessor? Has
anyone even *heard* of such a beast?

One was donated to me a while ago after standing unused in a garage for
a few years - apparently it was working when it went into store.
However, nowadays if I put the system disk into the drive it seeks the
heads, spins a couple of times, then all goes silent.

There's no cursor or anything on the monitor, but having never seen the
machine working myself I don't know if it should display anything at all
before a successful boot completes.

Basically I'm after more information before I can seriously start
thinking about getting this thing going. Obviously I don't even know if
the system disks are still good, let alone what sort of hardware faults
exist inside...

thanks for *any* help with this thing!!

cheers

Jules
