Hi, Larry. I just tried putting the drives in all the nine possible combinations. Still exactly the same happens to the last drive. All the drives are new, and do pass on the both power lines. What happens exactly is when I insert a disk into drive df3: the light comes on, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, the drive starts spinning, but slowly, I think. It tried to access the disk three times unsuccessfully and then DOS reports a DF3:BAD. The sound of the drive is somewhat muffled, but that might be because it is turning slowly. Any ideas?
