Have a Duodisk, won't boot or read in drive 1
does read in drive 2
can a mere mortal take apart and swap them around, 1 into 2 position and 2 into 1 position?
thanks

You can swap the drives around. it's not overly hard.
I should ask if you've tried cleaning the drive head. Most of the time that's the problem

not overly hard? I took off the cover and found all matter of stuff going all matter of directions; to this mortal looked impossible

but cleaning drive head seems like good idea
