I think a good idea would be to install replacement floppy. If you`ve got no other Amiga floppy, you can easily adapt a PC-HD drive to work with Ami. You simply need to connect floppy`s pins 2&34 together, and if drive motor does not spin while accessing disk, connect pin 16 to ground (/MOTORON). You also should check if your drive is not set to unit 1. If yes, you simply rejumper it or use typical pc tape (with some wires mixed). It worked for me when my a1200 floppy definitely died. The solution is almost identical to Escom`s solution with a1200, where there were pc floppys installed.
