problem with floppy drive controller on 1200....
« on: July 17, 2006, 08:51:37 PM »
I just got a winner tower of ebay, and tried it, it boots fine and works great of the HD... but it does not recognise any floppies inserted...
I thought the drive was damaged and exchanged it with a working one, still the same... changed the floppy cable, still the same...
u cannot read a floppy disk or format it... it gives a "cannot find cyclinder 0" error (or something similar... )
is one of the cia's dead?  :-?
