I have seen old drives come back to life after the cables and
connections (power and data) were cleaned (DeoxIT) & reseated, and the
drive was cleaned out using compressed air.

If these suggestions dont work, then you should contact Rich at
Route66 about a 3.5" replacement. Be sure and ask if you can work with
just a single 3.5" though. Most configurations I have seen included
both a 5.25 for booting and a 3.5 for saving/loading banks.

I wouldnt worry about Macs until you have a working E-II. When you do,
use the Mac links in the group links section to get yourself up to speed.
