1) Since it doesn't spin up on its own, check the little rubber
doohicky (tecnical term :-) which is mounted in the door and
presses the interlock switch... if this is old, it sometimes
gets a little soft and the switch doesn't get pressed enough.
2) Check that you've unlocked the heads
3) verify you have a terminator on the last drive
4) check the cabling again -- just in case it was reversed between
the RL11 and the transition plate.
that's all I can think of right now...
