There is an error with the boot strap of the 8" drives. Some times
you get a 'device error' on boot up. To fix it, when you get the
finger:
 
--> Output b4,6c	; select c:
--> Output b0,8		; restore to track 00
--> Boot
 
This will reset the head to track 00 and make it good to go.
 
Oh yea, I did get my drives going after I sent the drive's optional
Head Load and Two Sided Disk signals to the Z.
 
If some one could get this to AHD (he was the one who told me there
was a prob) he would like it.
