Bought myself a Widget drive....

I know..the changes of getting it running are slim....but I gave myself a change. This was what I found on Ebay:

Unable to test this, pulled out of a lot of vintage computer gear. In great cosmetic condition and the motor spins freely. 

It is on its way the The Netherlands. Some pictures....

Looks nice and clean - maybe  you'll get lucky!

These things are very rare, so I take the chance! Keep you posted here!

It arrived! Thanks to Shipito. Makes it less expensive to send stuff to Europe.

It tested it right away:

It spins and NeoWidget sees it as a Widget! That is a good start.

But..it is giving a 10726 error or a 85 error.

What is strange is that my "sort of working disk" gives the same errors!

Could it be my self costumised power supply?

I found this in the Lisa 2 owners guide:

Error 85: Disk timeou.

In other postings I did see this:

Your 10726 error is probably because of the 85 error. If a few hours running does not fix it you are probably having issues with the motor controller board.

So maybe the motor controling board.

Sometimes BLU start disk sees the disk. And I see this:



It gives a lot of bad blocks.....
