A1011 Floppy Drive problems
« on: December 01, 2004, 10:08:06 PM »
I am now the lucky owner of an A1011 floppy drive.  An ebay purchase I couldn't resist.  I even got an Amiga mouse thrown in free.  I was looking for one of those too!

Here's the issue:  The no disk present click sounds as normal.  However, when I insert a floppy it doesn't detect it too well.  If I insert softly and exert some upward pressure on the disk, it is detected and will then read normally.

Anybody any ideas?  I love to take things apart, but I'd hate to wreck this beautiful object.  Thought I'd ask you guys first.  Is it an easy drive to open and service?

Thoughts please!
