Hi all,
I am working on one of these disk drives.
I have it working, but the disk insertion side of it seems to be erratic (Running through a Greaseweazle device for the Commodore Amiga).
Could you please look at this footage and tell me what the cause is? It starts at 31:53.

I am using a 34 to 26 pin converter.
Also running it on a Windows machine it comes up with 'No disk inserted in drive' error.
I am looking through all your notes and think it's something to do with this:
"Connect a 1N5818 schottky diode between pin 1 (ready) and pin 11 (Motor on) with the banded end towards pin 11"
Would I need to do this or am I looking at something wrong?
All three cspacitors have been replaced and everything re-greased & heads are aligned ok now.
Thanks, Ant
