Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2001 03:01:20 GMT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FIXED! Re: Need some urgent Libretto 50CT help... Thanks everyone! It was the pin 28 going high problem. I stuck a piece of copper between them and it detected the drive instantly. It's working right now with a piece of copper wire in there, I couldn't find my solder anywhere. :-) Thanks Neil, and everyone who helped! I was at the brink of sending the drive back.
