That'll be a 4.3, then.



I got 2 old 2000s not too long ago, and both their floppy drives are dead. Or so I thought. From what I've read of similar accounts here, they might just be hideously, hideously dirty (the kind of dirty that requires full dis-assembly to clean). I haven't yet gotten around to attempting a repair. Seems to be a common issue with those kinds of drives.

Anyway, enjoy the machine! It's at a great starting point for some light productivity.

Sorry to hijaak the thread, but Matt_H: That 'hideously, hideously dirty' happens to quite a few Amiga drives. I managed to fix a 1011 by completely disassembling it, and using tuner cleaner on all the micro-switches... In my case, it was the the disk protect switches....  AFAIK, the drive is still working, tho' the buyer complained about it being so yellowed.... Isn't that right, Save2600?  :laughing:

I'd advise to not throw out any Amiga drive, until you have made sure it truly is dead....
