Hi, I have an Apple IIe and a II Plus which were working and now are not booting software. I have been using both and to do that required sharing two Disk II drives between them. I am now afraid I fried something when I swapped the drives. FYI I always had the power off and the power cable disconnected when I moved the drives one one system to another. Perhaps static fried a chip?
Symptom on both systems is that when I turn them on to autoboot the Disk II drive makes a normal boot sound, it display the Apple II symbol and the disk spins, but nothing happens. Have tried this with multiple disks. If I do a reset the disk stops spinning. Also, if I manually do a IN#6 it will do the same thing. One weird symptom is if the Disk II card is in any of the slots it will attempt to boot, which i thought was only supposed to happen if the card was in slot #6. I have two Disk II cards and they are doing the same thing.
I am baffled.
Any help appreciated.
Joe
