I used Deoxit on the spindle, let it set, then used hemostats to gently turn the spindle back and forth a few times, and hit it again with Deoxit. I let it set a little bit, then powered on the computer.

The drive spun up, and it's loading DOS 6.22 now.

I got lucky!

Good job, and you didn't even need to sacrifice the goat!

I am proud to say, that I no longer have any SCSI gear, I got rid of my SCSI Zip drive a long time ago. Though I wonder if I could have hooked it up to my new iMac via:

SCSI-> SCSI to Firewire -> Firewire to TB1 -> TB1-TB2 -> Mac

Almost wish I could try it...
