Check the cable connection on the drive mechanism.  If that does not do

The drive mechanism is a Chinon FB-354.  I don't have any information on 
it.


P.S  Your e-mail comes through with each paragraph as one long line.

> I posted my question about my problem with my 1581 (seemingly random error
  #74 (drive not ready), fixed by ejecting and reinserting the disk) on
  lemon64.com, and someone just responded to my question saying that the
  problem could be that the switch that senses if there is a disk inserted in
  the drive might be dirty.  And THAT reminded me of another thing I noticed
  about this drive that I had completely forgotton about!  I noticed that with
  this drive, I can write to a disk when the write-protect switch is open!
   Could these two issues be related?
