Has anyone here encountered this phenomenon with PowerMo II drives:

Inserting a disk results in the drive making repeated mechanical 'chup'
sounds for about ten seconds. After this, spinning the disk down and
flashing the busy light at a rate of 2 Hz, indicating an error
condition? Any formatting utility then reports that the drive is empty.

If so, how did you resolve it, and how much did it cost? Olympus tech
support indicated to me a charge of 125ukp! (And I suspect it's merely a
matter of a mechanical stiffness in part of the mechanism.)

Cheers,
Francis K.
