I decided to mess around with my Apple IIe. Havent powered it on in about a year.

It will turn on and hang up with the disk drive light on and I can hear the motor spinning in the drive. It always used to just boot right into Apple Basic without a disk installed. Now it just hangs up with the Apple IIe logo at the top of the screen.

If I insert a software or game disk it will load and run normally. The only way I have been able to get it to boot right into Apple Basic is to remove the drive control card from the motherboard.

I have tried cleaning all the connections, re-seating the boards, and even took the disk drive apart to clean the heads. Still exhibits the issue in pic related.

Any ideas?
