  Now, I have an interesting problem for the net.  My Rainbow 100B
has picked an interesting habit of not updating the harddisk.  First,
swap the disks.  Worked for awhile, but at the same time the old drive
was put into another Rainbow and worked flawlessly.  Drive controller?
It was used on another Rainbow a few monthes ago and had no problems.
  Next?  Cleaned the power supply out (very carfully), and everything
worked fine for a week.  The problems back, but if you do a little
shaking around the power cord and power supply, the problem goes
away.
  I seem to remember somebody mentioning the chance of a power cord
going bad.  Is this the external cord, or the internal ribbon?  Has
anybody else experienced similar problems?
  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
