first: I've found and read these two threads, they related but I think my problem is different.

http://www.practicalmachinist.com/v...fil-300-curious-problem-boot-up-disks-169964/
my 1998 robofil 290 console 2 machine boots up but with errors
SYSERR: B505 B583 B546
My manual suggests for all Bxxx errors to Reload software and run on board diagnostics. It lists nothing for specific B codes.
I have run the on board diagnostics (by holding diagnostics key while powering on).
the results are that the Pilot section fails UPA16 and UPR and Servo PASA tests. It says "power enabling defect" and "not tested" in all of them.
(but the console, communication and execution sections all pass)
It does also say from this diagnostic page SYSERR: D001 D001 , which also means reload the software according to the manual.
none of my upa, upr, etc... boards have any led error (or any) indicators lit
So I tried to reload the software. (although it seems to me that the software is fine if it's doing all this) and I get to the loading screen:
CB06 loading floppy....
Fatal error. system stopped.
floppy light comes on, my floppy doesn't try to spin. I tried to swap out with a floppy drive from an old pc. it also doesn't work. my disks appear in excellent physical shape. and somewhat newer. they are obviously not originals. I shall see if my PC can copy them to my hard drive as backup.
I'm sad.
