Jerome Fine replies:

Try checking the belt - the most common problem with an RX02 is
the belt falling off. I did use a DSD 440 over 20 years ago, but I
can't remember if it also used a drive belt. However, from your
description that the drive spins, my suggestion probably will not help.

Other than that, Tony might know something.

You are probably entering the code by hand. Somewhere, you have specified
a default unit of ZERO. If you have the code, one of us could probably change
the unit number for you.
