Think I found the problems....
Machine #2 (the one I'm rebuilding) had its DIP's set
for a single drive. After correcting that, still
failed to work, so decided to check out the 720
itself... AH HA!
Of course it wouldn't work. It was a dead drive.
As for the purist out there who shudder at the thought
of adding later components to such a classic, I should
mention that I'm an astronomer. I don't have the
systems as collectibles, I use them. Yup, that's
right... when you're on a budget, you have to make
everything work. This ol' PC is basically just going
to serve as a real time clock. With CGA monitors they
are good for that...
Better that then have it go to the landfill (as is too
often the case...)
