Emax

Hi Folks

Emax 1 has just taken a fall onto the floor, Disk Drive side down.  When plugged in, the 
emax powers up, but when i try to insert a FD, i'm just getting the error, Disk Not 
Formatted, and the drive whirrs away trying to find a boot sector.  

I assume (or hope) it's just the Disk Drive misalignment, and therefore, could get a 
replacement drive.  Any ideas ?

Maybe try opening up and check the cable to the Emax floppy drive.  
It might have come loose at either the floppy drive end or the 
motherboard end.  It's an easy thing to check and worth the 15 
minuets to open up your emax before bying a new floppy drive.
