Re: [CZsynth] Re: FZ-1 Floopy Disk Drive question

Howdy,

 Is the motor actually spinningthe disc? you may want
to open the unit and make sure the belt is good. If it
uses one. I know I had to replace the belt in my
roland s-10. Listen to the machine. does it make a
smooth whirring noise when engaged? Or do you just
hear the motor running. You may want to check it out.
