    I have an 8050 dual disk drive for CBM 8032SK. Appears all logic boards are good and passes initial bootup self-test. But when do some DOS command to drives (HEADER command, for example) the motor of R/W head are not move forward. Appears looks like move but don’t rotate properly.

    Appears something wrong about steppermotor sequence?

    Thanks for advance
