Your address was given to me from the comp.lang.lisp newsgroup.  
I have a Symbolics 3650 which gave up its life, by saying  
device 0 not ready, trying until ...

The machine has two disk drives, each 360MB and waying a ton, and I have
interchanged the two disks, I have tried to reseat all connectors 
and chips, but without any luck.  So my question is do you know 
of any further remedies I can try, or know where I can parts.  My assumption
would be that the problem is in the I/O paddle card.  

If I can not fix the problem without a major expense, I am ready to 
part with the machine.  Do you think anyone might be interested in it
or parts of it?

Thanks  in advance for your time,
