Trying to fix a amiga 1200 i bought untested.
Having trouble booting off a disk.
Typing info shows : DFO Unreadable disk

I tried this with serveral disks , so i assume the drive went bad .
How hard is it to replace a floppy. Is there any good place to buy one ?( I live in the usa)
Thanks,Peter

Hi Dan,
I bought a liquid disk cleaner, no luck.
Next, I opened the case and reseated the data and power. still not luck.
when I power up, I hear a click every 3 seconds where it looks for a inserted disk.
but when I pop in a good floppy, and run info, it says dfo: unreadable disk.
For example :

Maybe I need to move the jumpsers - this is what I have now :

where to buy a replacement floppy disk drive?
I thought about scavenging the floppy drive from my A600 , but the location of data and power are reversed.
Any ideas?
Peter
