I believe _Some_ of the Tandy 1000's were like this. My TX originally had
some *unknown* brand HardCard with a MicroScience 3.5" MFM drive. The drive
always worked good (made a neat "chunking" noise instead of chirping), until
the spindle motor died (or something died). It wasn't frozen - it just
wouldn't go. It also had a "ready" and "access" light (red and green). I
ended up replacing it with a WD HardCard, which is about 50% slower than the
MicroScience.
Anyone have one of those old MicroScience drives that they want to get rid
of? My Tandy 1000 (no suffix) is yearning for its HardCard back :)
The model number of the drive was HH325.
