Hi,

sorry I cannot help, but I have a similar problem with my A3000T's. I'm not able to connect two HD-floppies to the towers. The only working solution I have found is a single HD-floppy attaches as drive DF1: and a DD-floppy as drive df0:.
If I switch them or try to use two HD-floppies I get errors like DF0:???. I've tried the jumpers on the motherboard and the jumpers of the drives and twisted/non-twisted cable.

So if anybody knows a solution I'm also interested.

Hi,

> I'm not sure which OS your using but I know that it work with 3.1, 3.5 and 3.9.

I've tested it using OS 2.04, 3.1, and 3.9 without success.
I also tried an (original) 68030, an A3640, and a CyberStormPPC but that doesn't makes any difference.

I have used an original HD-floppy from the A3000T and an original 880k floppy from another A3000T and the only way I get them to work together is jumpering the HD floppy as DF1: and the DD-floppy as DF0: and to set the motherboard jumper to "no DF1:".

In all other cases this combination didn't work. As I tried to replace the DD-floppy with an HD-floppy from an A4000 it didn't work at all.
