I was trying to explain on one of the forum sites just how to coax a stuck hard drive on a card within an Amiga 2000 by standing the computer vertical and hitting the thing with the rubber end of a screwdriver. To prove the point I again removed my A2000 with the dodgy hard drive from store and stood her for a good thirty minutes before tapping lightly with the screwdriver. Nothing happened. I left her running a while longer. I then laid her flat on the bench and fired her up and like magic the drive sprang into gear. I never doubted it. Has been a touch cold where I store her so maybe that was the reason. Below are the videos of the before and after. The other reason for opening up the A2000 was again to show that support plate for the A2000 which is the subject of the second blog for today. Fascinating.
