Hi all.  While I was reconfiguring my hard disk controller this evening, I
somehow broke my DuoDisk controller.  I don't know if I pulled a wire loose or
zapped it with static, but it's not working right.  When I type PR#6 to boot
drive 1, the screen dims to about half brightness and the drive is accessed
for about a second.  It doesn't recalibrate or boot, it just returns to the
"]" prompt.  Catalogging a disk in drive 1 works OK, but the screen still dims
whenever the disk is accessed.  I haven't tested writing to drive 1 or
anything on drive 2.  The hard disk still works OK, but I feel naked without a
floppy!

If you've heard of a similar problem, know a fix for it, or know the cheapest
price on a new/used DuoDisk controller, please let me know!  Thanks!
