At this point I was thinking I had solved the problem completely, until I tried some tests using diskcopy programs like Powercopy and Xcopy.  Both programs recognise the drives exist but insist that there is no disk in the drives.

 However Dopus is quite happy to perform a copy of disks from/to any drive internal or external.

Is anybody aware of what signal might not be finding it's way back to the Amiga?  I am close to solving this (I think) but have run out of ideas currently.

I assume your disks are not Double-density(e.i. Original Workbench Installers are double dens disks(880KB)). These softwares don't recognize High-desity disks(1.76Mb) You should, however put a tape patch on the other notch, bottom side, so the programs can detect them as double density disk and the 'disk not present' will not show.

Dopus can format in high-density without any problems.
Try to make it boot workbench/games from disk as well. Did it boot from disk? If it did. Good! You got her working now!Hope that helps.

Hmmm,

Yep I'll do that, not that fancy to look at ATM I'm afraid, the case is silver and the drives are white of course, but it's working :-)

On the upside it hasn't cost me cent so far :-)

Just fixed the DD/HD problem, wired across the switch on the floppys and now all disks are DD as far as it's concerned.

  :-D

That's cool! You got it working now. 8-) I'll be waiting for your pictures soon! ;-) Good luck and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
