Internal floppy drive reads but doesn't write?

[Gavilan]

@gurthuk: DHO? Sure? I guess DHO is primary partition on HDD!!

You mean DF0 maybe?

Check what moto told you (Hello moto!!!). also, another (cheaper) option, if you are good soldering is to get a cheap PC floppy drive and do a hack to "convert it" to Amiga.
Its very easy to do.
I can give you lot of info, even if its not written in english you will understand it quite easily.

Let me know if i can help you

Cheers!

I can assure you that in our Amiga Club in Argentina, one of our "magicians" has arrived to a solution that is 100% compatible with Amiga

You can try it for yourself! In the worst scenario you will only loose a Pc floppy drive! And you can even try it on a used floppy drive, you dont need to buy one!

since we live in a country far far away from most of where all active Amiga scene is, and since it was impossible to find parts and replacements for all our dead amiga floppy drives, we found this solution (well actually my friend did), and now, almost all amiga useres in Argentina are very happy, using his method, which seems to be the perfect solution...

At least my own experience, i have been using one of his modified Pc floppy drives for over a year, and still didnt have a single issue with it

Ok guys. Since the document is written in spanish and hosted in the Amiga forum in Argentina, i will translate it to the best english i can, and will post it here, along with some schematics and pics

Please, allow me 1 or 2 days to do the task

I hope this helps a lot of Amiga users all over the world

Kind Regards
Sebastian
