Some dumb Amiga HD floppy questions....
« on: October 04, 2008, 10:08:47 AM »
Hi everyone,

It's been many years since I had a HD floppy in an Amiga...
Basically, I am getting way more read errors / checksum errors on floppies with my A4000T (HD floppy) than I get on my A1200T (DD floppy) ... OK, I have already used a cleaning disk on the 4000's HD floppy drive...

So, are HD drives more 'picky' about disks? Are HD drives more prone to read and/or checksum errors? Of course, the disks I am trying could just be bad, I am sure that I have abused a lot of them....

Tho, I do have a LOT more disks to try, I am just somewhat alarmed at the higher failure rate...
(Using DMS and Image2Disk, BTW...)
