The evil day came. My Z100 (low profile) unit died. The fan runs, the keyboard
clicks, the floppies spin, and the floppy LEDs flicker when I cycle the power,
and there appears to be blank video being generated, but it doesn't run. The
keyboard does stop clicking after a while, but I didn't count how many clicks
it was buffering.

Any suggestions? All I've done to fix this is reset the disk controller board.
I can do simple electronics work, but it isn't my primary machine anymore.
