My A1200 Floppy just died
« on: June 07, 2008, 10:11:36 PM »
The internal floppy drive in my AT 1200 PPC/060 machine just died last night. I confirmed it by swapping in a drive from one of my 4000's.

Where is the best place to buy a replacement? I have an eject button on the old drive I can use if it's the same. The old drive is a Panasonic JU-257A516P. Amigakit lists A1200 drives but they are for a tower case and have a face plate. Perhaps I can put something else in there?

I have already tried the basics, checking the microswitches, cleaning ect.

Thanks,
-Jeff

Will it have the correct eject button for my AT 1200 case included? I'll be placing my order later on today if so. Thanks Again AmigaKit!

OK, I'll place my order today then. My last order from you (OS4) finally arrived in the US after many weeks in an envelope smashed completely FLAT. It ruined the OS4 box:-( Please pack my drive carefully and perhaps don't mail it by sea if possible.

Thanks Again,
-Jeff

I will check for bad SMD caps also. Is there a HD floppy that is a direct fit in the 1200 case? I am starting to get spoiled with my A4000's FZ-357A hooked up:-D
