Subject: Half dead Kaypro II

I long ago got rid of the best computer I ever owned , a rock solid Kaypro II.
I'm still getting by on stone-age stuff: a couple of 8088 XT clones. I have
just inherited another KII from a friend's closet which seems to be
suffering from failure to communicate with its A drive. Switch on, warms up,
CRT says put disk in drive. There is only the master disk, which I ASSUME is
not damaged, but the drive doesn't pay it any mind, or perhaps the board
doesn't pay the drive any mind. I opened up the case, admired the clean lines
of the interior, and swapped the drives, on the theory that A is broke and 
maybe B ain't. No response. Next move?
