I have just recently accquired a used 1541C disk drive. When I turn on the power, the disk starts to spin but it never stops. Is it common for a 1541 to have self-initalization problems? Most important of all, is there a way to fix this without taking it to the shop? -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Halsema halsema@mentor.cc.purdue.edu

More then likly your 6522 chip has gone out. I have some spects on some of the older drives and it says if the drive is just spining it might be that chip. There is also another list of things that could be wrong with it. If you would like to get ahold of me and talk about it call me at 801-465-3978. Hope that I can help you out.
