A1200 Floppy Drive Problem
« on: July 23, 2003, 10:35:00 AM »
I thought, before resorting to anything drastic, I would see if anyone else has experienced this problem....

I bought an A1200 board off Ebay, and as stated there seems to be some sort of problem with the floppy controller.

I finally got KS3.1 ROMs for it today, plugged them in and get the beloved "insert disk" screen. I cannibalized a friend's A500 for the power supply and floppy drive. The drive powers up and does it's initial spin. With the cable backwards, the drive spins constantly, so some signal is making it through the cable. Alas, (with the cable on correctly, of course) the system never attempts to read my WB disk, and sits waiting for a disk.

So, my question is, is there something else I can try before I resort to replacing Paula?

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

Duh, I guess I should have mentioned... It's a C= rev. 1D1...

I still need to load a hard drive with WB to see if audio works at all.
