Danamania--wow. I never knew that could happen...
Stevep--no, I think it was just because they didn't push it in all the way. Back when the 512k powered up (
) I would push a known working 400k software disk into the drive all the way, where it stayed. But not a peep from the floppy drive. No sounds, and all I had to do was reach in and pull the disk back out. (Well, sometimes it did stay in tightly, which was where the manual eject hole came in handy.) The only sign of life that floppy drive shows are red LEDs on inside it. But apart from that--nothing.
