Hi again,
A follow-up:
(1) I opened the 4040, and I could see that the head moved "out", then
approx to the middle of the disk, then back and so forth... so it
doesn't read the disk - that's for sure.
(2) I also noticed that the 4040 might actually be sick... or maybe only
modified - the 6532 is located on an extra socket (mounted in the
original socket) + a few wires are added. So... don't know if it works...
