- According to the Users Guide, the Ready and A light flashing indicates that
- the "Heads Home switch would not open" (FWIW). Dunno what that is, though it
- sounds like a microswitch is beat (Feel free to correct me anyone :-)
- The RA60 has internal diagnostics, but I don't know if it has the RS232
- hookup like the RA81's.
