== Hard Drive Diagnostics == * 1701: Run SETUP and confirm the drive type matches the drive's label. The 5170 SETUP table has 15 drive types in the 01/10/84 BIOS, 22 in the 06/10/85 BIOS, and over 40 in the 11/15/85 BIOS. * 1780/1781: Drive 0 or Drive 1 failure. Verify cable seating (pin 1 marked with a red stripe), drive power, drive ID jumpers (drive 0 vs drive 1), and that the drive is correctly terminated. * Drive does not spin up: head stiction. Carefully twist the drive (with power off) to free the heads — this is a stop-gap, replace the drive afterwards.
