Color Classic floppy issue

[netfreak]

So it seems my Color Classic has developed a weird issue while sitting on my table unused... I went to back up some of the stuff on it using a floppy but the system rebooted the second I put the disk in the drive. It ejected right at the happy mac screen so I put it back in and it immediately powered down. The last time I used the machine maybe 6 months ago the floppy drive was used quite a bit without issue. I might pull the board out and peek at it before I find the time to crack open the case.. anyone seen this before?

maybe weak power supply?

Hmm, I guess it could be packing it in.. That sucks.

EDIT: actually when it rebooted the first time it did spin the disk and try reading it before spitting it out and booting off the HD. It seemed like the act of inserting the disk is what triggered the issue.
