This console is the STMain1/1B board variety. We recently bought a second desk and I noticed the drive placement difference while troubleshooting the old desk. Good to know. The disk drive on the old desk has been replaced (though I'm not sure how long ago). In the brief moments I had it working recently the disk drive operated fine (ie: reading fixture libraries) I cracked it open and made sure all ribbon cables are seated properly - which they were. I also metered the NiMH battery and registered 3.6V. I'll look into replacing the drive again before the console gets to take a trip to LA. Thanks for the help. Brent

Having a problem booting Fat Frog. It won't. Plug it in, the LCD screens light up but no info is displayed. Plugged in a monitor and it reads as if the console is off. Let it sit unplugged for and hour or so and tried again. It went through some of it's boot but found no operating system. Loaded OS disk with version 9.6 and let it sit. It didn't read the disk after 20 minutes. Did the console dump it's OS? What do I do?
