Amiga 1200 floppy issues
« on: April 30, 2017, 12:37:05 PM »
I have an Amiga Tech. A1200 which came with Panasonic JU-257A515p model.The drive after some years stop working and I bought a Panasonic JU-257A605P if I remember right.But the floppy has issues.When I boot with  workbench disk the mechanism which reads stops after the boot.It reads only the boot disk not any disk after the first one.When I boot from the Hard Disk it slows a bit and when I come to the Workbench environment the light of the drive is on and the mouse cursor is transform to clock.I have also a Hard Drive and a Blizzard accelerator.Must search for another floppy drive or what?

I had Panasonic I put again Panasonic from another AT A1200 and it does not work properly.I tried SWOS which is a two game disk and it worked properly.It does not work in Workbench...

When boot from Workbench disk and switch to another disk the drive stays idle and don't read the second disc.I tried to reinstall the Workbench but I can because drive reads only the first disk.Its strange.Maybe the floppy drive is incompatible with my A1200.
