Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Sticky Floppy Drive Latch

Hard to say exactly. You should open the CMI IIx and pull out the drive and examine it.
What drive do you have ? What ´s the make and model ?

Subject: [Fairlight-CMI] Sticky Floppy Drive Latch

I've got a IIx and Drive 1 has a sticky door latch. Sometimes, especially after running the CMI for a few minutes, the door latch refuses to open. I have to repeatedly press on the latch and with some time, it eventually releases the disk.

Is there something that's sticking/catching that is a known issue with these drives? Any suggestiongs on how to fix it?

Thanks!
Kirk
