Definitely a power supply issue. 120V makes it through the two power switches and into the PSU, but in spite of some signs of high voltage nothing...

The IBM scheme gave up the ability to run 4 drives off the same cable in exchange for being able to control the spindle motors of either drive...

Thanks Dwight.

Wow, that site is a great resource. I should be able to use my SOL-20 as the Terminal and I'll be in vintage computer heaven !

There were a number of commercial video adapters as well as some hobbyist versions, both text only versions and also graphics, but I'm afraid I can't...

Wintergreen oil (yeah, the same stuff used for making candy) is really great for restoring rubber, too. Back when I was restoring and riding vintage...
