It made an almighty squeal then a crunch. Now it just wont read anything.

It also mangled Turrican 2 in the process. :(


...so it's something serious...
It maybe fixed, but you need to open drive, check out the mechanics and spend some time...

A spare drive it's not a bad idea in this case.

However I am still curious about the drive emulators.


Yes, but you won't read real 3,5" disks.
Having at least a real external drive (or drive emulator as an external drive) is advisable to load real stuff.

BY and good luck!
