A500 floppy problem
« on: July 01, 2004, 04:50:58 PM »
Ok, i'm not an expert on the amiga hardware but i have a problem.
i found my amiga 500 back after years of negligence. i used to work fine, workbench and several games.
but now, when i turn it on, it displays the hand with the floppy. I put any floppy in and the drive spins (and the drive head moves to position) but it suddenly stops after 3 sec.
Are just all my floppys gone blank (after the years) or is are the drive heads broken.
PS Can i rewrite the workbench floppy on my PC? or write it on an IBM formatted floppy???

thanx
