Recently it has become the case that any attempt to write to the internal floppy drive on my Amiga 1000 results in the OS reporting that the disk is write protected - even when it is not. The detector must be broken. I can see it as a little protruding plastic piece that i've been jiggling to try and "clear out" in case there was debris, but it makes no difference.
If I open up the machine, is this something I can likely fix, or should I just get a replacement drive before opening the machine? Can a 1010's mechanism be used inside the Amiga 1000 as a replacement for its internal drive?
Thanks.
