Same as 1555, but with some images at the end...pictures by and of David Bradley over the years...

Hello there...when this drive is turned on, it makes all the right sounds, flashes all the right lights and it seems to be just dandy...but the pancake shaped platter that is attached to the stepper motor on drive 1 goes round and round instead of doing the head banging that it should do, and I am curious...and pretty sure there is something not as it should be...so it is time to dive deep and see what is going on, or not going on in here!

Stay tuned for many more videos...please subscribe and like if you are so moved, and if you want some entertainment, pick a playlist, and let it play and play and play!
