Evening all,
Got a nice haul of equipment today...aside from the TK50 issues and the smoking VT340
everything seems to be okay!
However:
CARTRIDGE
PRESENT
HEAD AT TRACK
ZERO
POSITIONED AT
BOT
TRK NUMBER 00
LOGICAL TRACK
NUMBER = 0.
PHYSICAL BLK# 0000
PHYSICAL BLOCK
NUMBER = 0.
LOGICAL BLK# 00
LOGICAL BLOCK
NUMBER = 0.
TAPE POSITION 000EFB
TAPE POSITION
= 3835.
DRIVE STATE 035E
RD/WRT STATE 1937
OPERATION FLGS 0201
CNTRLR STATUS 0C
DRIVE ERROR
DRIVE ERR CODE 93
AMPLITUDE ON
HEAD 2 TOO LOW
and an error about it being unable to find calibration track 2 on the second drive lead me
to believe the drives may be faulty. The leader isn't broken and I've reattached
it to the arm on the one where it had come off.
How would I do about cleaning one? Are the drives bad and a cleaning wouldn't help?
(Yes, I tried multiple cartridges)
