My A1200 tower project has been completed but having problems getting WB 3.1 to install from floppy. Same old story floppy disk problems.
The main issue is I boot with Install disk and when it ask for say the workbench disk it does not load - no disk activity at all. What this means is that I must boot with floppy in to get it to see it. I guess it is not registering the disk insertion from the floppy drive.
I have managed to get WB 3.1 installed manually but this would be something I need to get fixed. I would appreciate any help.
Thank You :-? :-? :-?

Sometimes the little pins (just inside the slot) on the floppy drives stick. A good clean up and removal of dust and debri could help :idea:

A software solution is opening a CLI window on the workbench ( then type "newshell") and issue this command every time you to change the disk inside the floppy unit:
"Diskchange DF0:" (no quotes)
If you had buy a new unit for your tower, then most likely it is not compatible with your Amiga at all.

I got disk drives if interested.

This has very little of new in it. The floppy drive is out of my old A4000. :-D

Yes, I would be interested in your floppy drive; what do you have? How much? Trade you? I have a imac, A2000 mobo and many other items. Just joking on the imac but I do have one. :-D :-D :-)

PM send :-D
cash is more fair as asking for A2000 mobo or other stuff -well i don't want to rip you off as its worth less than that.
