This is the original 20MB disk that came with the machine. This happened a couple of times before and was remedied by turning the power off and then on again or by banging on the machine (sorry...). This time nothing helps. I'm told there were once instructions posted here about how one could oil the shaft, or something, to get the disk to spin again. I'd appreciate it if someone who has such instructions around would mail them to me. Thanks, Yigal Arens USC/ISI arens@isi.edu
