David, I've been maintaing the micros here at school for about 3 years and
I've seen the problem you describe a dozen times or so. So far every single
one has been fixed by replacing the ribbon cable between the drive and
controller. I've also been told by TEAC that the "DC" jumper on the drive
must sometimes be changed....take it off if it's there and vice versa.
Good luck.
