So, I'm setting up another A500 and am trying to format a floppy diskette.
Stick a disk in an external drive (no-name) and start the format process.
Error message comes up saying the disk is write protected. Hmm. Check the write protect tab. No, it's right.
Try again. Same thing.
Try a 1011 drive. Ditto.
Try df0: Yep, same thing!
Okay, try a different motherboard AND different df1:
SAME THING!!!
WTF?
?
Any suggestions?
Could my df0: be hogging the line and locking out the write somehow?
I suspect a CIA problem, but would appreciate suggestions from the audience.
