Always sumpthin darnit



Jeez, what next.  Even though I don't have my RamFAST back yet, I decided 
to power up the GS to play some floppy based games.  Guess what isn't 
working now... my floppy eject button.  my goodness, I must have done 
something really bad to deserve all this.  heh.

I ran through all the paces and found out...

- the motor is fine... if the system makes an eject call, it works with 
  no problem.

- I actually got it to eject once by hitting the button 900 times for no 
  reason, but that was the last time it worked.  No more.

Any advice besides the obvious?  Any McGuyver-ish tricks to try?  

Speaking of the RamFAST, here is the latest...

Sequential has been SUPER so far!  (believe it or not)  I've been on the 
phone with Joe, and he said they already fixed it, and it's on its way 
back.  Sure enough, it was completely broiled. :)  He said they had to 
replace the actual scsi-controller chip and one of the diodes.

(I have no idea what I did to trash it like that)

But hopefully it will be in tommorow so I can put it in and find out it 
still doesn't work!

:)
