So I tried starting my Tandy 1000RLX HD. What a wierd little machine that is. Anyway, it now all works, including booting into Deskmate from ROM.
However, the Seagate st-351 xt ide hard drive is on the fritz. Since it wasn't working I opened it up.
Before anyone passes out, I do this all the time on older IDE drives that I just can't get working any other way...
First issue was that it wasn't spinning up. I put a little torque on the center and now it spins up. However, now the head "bonks" in and out. Any ideas on troubleshooting this drive further?
