This recently happened to me every time I tried to mount
a disk. Also, the drive would spin the disk up, then spin
it back down, sometimes repeatedly. I'd have to go into the rom monitor
to eject the disk.

I had to have the OD drive replaced. The repairman I talked to (at
Businessland) said it was a part failure, and not due to dust, and
that he had done several similar repairs recently.
