I did purchase this floppy drive some time ago from Amigakit; the drive works fine in reading; since I was able to install workbench 3.1 without problem on my hd, but when trying to format a disk; any disk, it fail giving an error on cyl 0.
I did try more than one floppy, and I get the same result so I can exclude that the floppy is defective.
I did try to cover the second hole on the disk, and to take off the tape that I have on it, and same issue happens. I thought the write protection sensor pin is stuck, but I don't get write protection errors, it just fail as soon as it try to write on the floppy.
I even tried to delete or copy files on the workbench disk, and it fail. Alhough if I create a folder in the workbench disk, I see the drawer created correctly.
Do I have a broken floppy? Or there is some magic to do on 3rd party floppy drives (this is the floppy with the plastic mask on it; to be used internally; I believe is a Teac, but I need to check), to enable writing on it?
