[comp.sys.mac.misc] Jasmine/Miniscribe HD Problem

fratus@niaid.nih.gov (John Fratus) (07/23/90)

Someone's brought a failed Jasmine HD in for us to look at, hoping that
we can get it working. We pop it open and inside is a MiniScribe 8425S.
(Ain't this about the best combo you can imagine??? :) ).

Nothing obviously wrong with the drive. Seems to be spinning up. But...
The red light on the front of the drive is flashing in a code-like
pattern:

Long - Flash - Flash - Flash

Where each "Flash" above is actually four very short flashes.

Anybody know the code? Also, because it looks like we won't be able to
do anything for this fellow, what's the best place to have the guy
send the drive?

Thanks for any help!

[ Sorry about not posting to comp.sys.mac.hardware... For some reason, we
  aren't getting it here. Weird...                                        ]

How about sending it to Jasmine?  Reports of their demise are greatly
exaggerated.
