HP=87 Disk Drives

[stephenpeterson]

Thanks Paul.
This has been an on-going battle. I went through all 4 Sony drives cleaning and lubricating, making sure the carriage switches positions up and down when a disk was inserted or ejected. So I think that part is okay. I even purchased another bare Sony drive, but it didn't seem to help. I bought an unopened box of blue disks.

After powering on with a disk in drive 0 on the 9121, the red "error" light flashes 5 times indicating no error. I may have to double check that.

It does give me hope that you think both model drives are compatible with the 87.

I will buy a bulk eraser and try that as I am running out of ideas.

Best,
Steve
