hello,
working on a p54c (100 mhz) amiBIOS '95 many problems
1 of which is the floppy drive ribbon cable seems to have been glued
onto the floppy drive controller (onBoard)
have another (same type) cable but there appears to be glue which is
obstructing pin 1
(it is almost like a permanent jumper.)
the light for the a-drive remains on
need to know whether it would be safe to remove this blob
(there are other points on the old / broken cable with the same
material)
as though it may have melted?
please advise!
THANK YOU!

Some PC assemblers use a glue gun (hot melt adhesive) to stop cables getting
disconnected accidentally in transit. Just remove it.
