Before I rush out and blow money on repairs, a quick question.  My 8 incher 
(morrow disk jockey 2) no longer unloads the head after an idle period.  This 
used to be intermittent then would work for 5 minutes  after power up and is 
now solid.  All is well as long as I don't open the door to change disks.  When
I close door with a new disk the head is still loaded but the controller is 
confused and no longer can read until the controller is reset AND the drive is 
powered off and on.

I did verify that the LOAD HEAD line is active from the controller but don't 
know if the controller is responsible for unloading the heads or is it the 
drive that signals not ready and then the controller unloads the heads.  Don't 
know if the controller or drive is at fault.  Any ideas.  Thanks in advance.
