It sounds like it's not seeing the card or any drives on it at all, because it's dropping straight into BASIC - what a //e does when there's no disk devices.Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've already triple-checked that the card is seated firmly and the drive is plugged into the port firmly.
There are 2 main possibilities:1. The "inspection" broke the interface card. Not very likely as TTL chips are robust.
2. The card doesn't make proper contact with the slot. The things to try: 1. remove and insert the card a few times. Contacts may oxidize in 20 years. 2. Assuming the card is in slot 6, type call -151 c600lif this lists reasonable assembly, the card is it least visible to the CPU. If you get a lot of "???", it is not.
