Just so you know, you can boot an Osborne 1 from the B: drive by pressing <SHIFT>" (shift and double-quote) instead of <RETURN>.

Hey Jules, Ah, so your O1 also has the weird screen artifacts prior to hitting 'return'? Weird.. wonder what's up with that? I've only detected activity from drive A (LH side). It definitely does spin, the LED lights up, but I haven't been able to detect any head movement. You mention that the head on yours steps back & forth (indefinitely?) with no disk present - does it behave any differently when the drive door is open vs. closed?
