A3000 floppy problem
« on: November 13, 2003, 04:45:38 PM »
Anyone ever have this problem with an A3000?

Previous tests:
(1) Moved the FB357A to another A3000. The drive is recognized as DF0:  Drive functions are OK.

Placed back into problem A3000 unit.
(1) Workbench screen denotes DF0:???
(2) Floppy disk in drive initializes. But DF0:??? and another disk drive Icon is present.
(3) The drive is being recognized as DF1:

Motherboard jumpers are the same on both A3000's.

I did not swap drive cables. DF0 goes to the twisted pair. The drive is set as DF0, and the jumper is set to NO DF1. (I have several FB-357A's, and all test OK as either DF0 or DF1 in the other A3000).

Will swap the cable, and report back. To those that took humor, ho hum. To the exceptional few that gave advise, thank you.

The problem has been corrected.

DF0 goes to the twisted pair. The drive is set to DS0.
DF1 goes to other connection. The drive is set to DS1.

On the back of the drive is a single jumper.
Looking from the back of the drive.
