   Retro peeps: Anyone have any tips for getting a SyQuest 88 MB drive to work? All cartridges spin up but it seems to fail the disc init check and just blinks green LED slowly (no red LED). Adrian’s Digital Basement trick of SilverLining’s “short test” didn’t work.

   Apps that claim to read and seek don’t move the head. Self tests (with a jumper) do seek/move head properly.

   BlueSCSI initiator doesn’t start.

   Heads look clean/level/in tact. No sticky rubber bumpers.

   Ideas?
