Hi Mike! Error 85 usually means that the Widget doesn't come to a "ready" state within a given timeout value. Probably the boot block and/or the spare block can't be read. That means: The Widget needs a Low Level Format.
The Floppy doesn't need any additional power cable- the flat cable includes the necessary power leads. I hope this helps you a little bit further. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike sherry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "LisaList" <lisalist@mail.maclaunch.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:23 AM Subject: Widget can't keep up ! Hello there, I have a Macintosh XL ( I think !) that I am trying to restore, the internal 10MB Widget drive comes up with Error 85 during power up. Searching around a bit a found the error codes list in the Sun Rem document, this claims that error 85 mean the 'drive cannot keep up'. No further details are given and no suggestion for a fix. Does this mean it is spinning too slowly ? Also on an unrelated note, I notice that the floppy drive has a data connection going into it, but no power lead. Is this ok, is the data lead actually data and power combined or do you think I am missing a bit ? Many thanks for any advice you can offer -- LisaList is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
