Subj: IS MY PDD2 DYING?!
Greeting s Rick, Haven't had to ask for help for a long time because my Model 100 has been so faithful. Dug it out after a two year hiatus however, and had trouble transferring files to the Model 100 from my TDD2. (I use the Ultimate Rom II.) I would get a "communications error" message, and made sure the cable was secure, cleaned the heads, blew out the drive with some clean air, and so on. Sometimes a file would transfer, but only partially. Sometimes the whole system would lock up and I'd have to cold-start. Toward the end, I would get a blank screen where the files were supposed to be listed (in the TS-DOS menu), and sometimes a msg saying the disk was not formatted! Now, the drive's power light won't come on ... used to come on briefly as I powered it up. The computer itself seems ok... been using my old cassette recorder to reload some files and it appears to work. Things have gone from bad to worse... suggestions would surely be welcome! Thank you! .. Paul
