I had the same symptoms with two SIDER drives. It was the power supply
which was bad.  From JDR Microsystems, I ordered a power supply which had
suitable voltages and which was of a size to fit into the SIDER case. They
both work fine now.  As a temporary fix, I used an Apple IIe power supply
mounted outside the case and with some extension leads. That also worked
fine, though it was not handy to have an external power supply.
