Does anybody know where I can get a Davong 5M drive fixed?  I can't get it to
boot up anymore (it just says 'DRIVE 1 NOT READY') and its diagnostics program
reports a 'REGISTER I/O ERROR'.  I'm almost considering just throwing the
thing away and saving up for a bigger/better drive but, if I can get this
working then, what the heck.  If anyone has any suggestions on what might be
wrong and how I could fix it myself, that would be even better (cheaper). 
Also, I know I saw a question about this a while back but I don't remember
anyone answering -- does anyone know of a ProDOS driver for the Davong?  If
not, does anyone know what the hardware calls are for the drive so that I
could write my own driver (assuming I get it working, that is)?
