Hi

Is the port busted. Put your Workbench disk in DF1 ... which I assume is your external floppy drive.. Then BOOT. Keep both mouse buttons depressed [ down ] and wait for the early boot screen. Select Boot Options. If DF1 is there then select to boot from here. If not or doesn`t work then probably the port is busted. I wouldn`t muck about.. Get a replacement motherboard from Ebay. Otherwise you will be struggling a touch.

Why not use IDEFix97 from the one floppy drive and boot from the hard drive... Unclear.

Hi

Looks like you have more than one 1200 there. So if the external drives work on your other 1200s then it has to be a busted motherboard. Not too big a problem to replace.
