- -> Ive got an old 5-5 that seems to have a bad power supply. When I
- -> power it on, the floppy drive does this real nifty clicking noise,
- -> and the hard drive doesnt seem to spin up. I get nothing on the
- -> console. Does anyone happen to have prints of this power supply?

- Try looking for the cooling fan fins on the drive's platter motor. If
- you can tell which way the drive spins, (look at the fins to see which
- way it is trying to move if you aren't sure), nudge the drive a bit, and
- it should spin up. (Do this with the drive powered up).
-
- I have found this to be a problem with a CDC WREN-II drive in an AT&T
- 3B2-300 that Larry Moore has. (Tell Andy we still need some guidance in
- it, but we are getting closer to having a functional UUCP system).
