I nearly said nothing but last night I was working late on this machine
and DID in fact diagnose and reassemble the machine in working order.
When I put the skins back on it I must have accidentally toggled the Fixed
Disk Ready button on the faceplate. That is all the failure was and when
I noticed it after work this evening I could have kicked myself.
Anyway, the machine works. I would like to format some floppies and get a
restorable backup of the drive. The two floppies respond to DIR/Bad, and
Init/Bad as devices DU1 and DU2:. But I get 'bad sector in system area'
when I try to init. How do I low-level floppies?
