Since I received my A1200 in 2008 I have had an issue with df1: Using a known good drive the A1200 says there is a drive df1: but fails to recognize that a disk is in the drive.
Yesterday I tried using diskchange to see if that might help get the drive up and recognized. No luck but then I noticed something funny. Everytime I sent the diskchange command an icon for the disk in the drive would flash on the screen and disappear.
I've looked with no luck...anyone have a clue as to the problem and a fix?
What else configuration wise besides an extra floppy does this A1200 have? I'm thinking perhaps it's some software on your hard disk interfering with DF1: possibly...like anticlick or even something in DEVS:DOSDrivers. Or, could be a resident module but that's doubtful. Have you tried a cold boot into Workbench via the Workbench floppy disk (3.0 or 3.1 or 2.0 or 2.1) and see if the problem remains?
