MPC60 floppy drive: Error Code FF80 and no drive sound

I'm running pre-sales tests on my MPC60 Mk1, which has been boxed since the late '90s. All seems fine apart from the floppy drive, which is showing the "error code ff80" thing when Disk functions are attempted.

I've only one DD disk to hand so am wondering if it may be a dud.

The red drive light shows for a few seconds at startup, but there is no seeking sound when the disk is inserted or when any disk option is selected. Should there be?

Also, if the drive is toast, can an S1000 floppy drive be swapped in?

Yes the drive motor will likely have seized up, an s1000 will not work with it unfortunately.

Thanks for the info. Given the inverter/backlight noise described in another topic, I'll have to decide whether it's worth getting it back to full working order or sell as is.

I would say it is, the extra cash you would get for it in perfect working order would be far more than one with faults.

Thanks for your advice. I'll chew it over and may be in touch.
