Sadly looks like a floppy drive failure. Started with an old disk that I was using, not one of mine, and the metal slide was projecting. When I ejected it, it actually pulled the face plate off the 4000 drive. After that the drive has developed this occassional problem of not fully resetting itself after eject and seems to be locked in a state of wanting the old disk back. I wait a moment or so and then make sure I am firm with the next disk and has worked all afternoon.
The disk in question is very odd. I think its a bootleg or cracked disk of Tetris Pro and there is no visible disk icon, even though there is a disk info file on the disk.
I then tried an official copy of ProVector and that was throwing up the same issue and I simply took it across to the 1200 where the disk was seen and thought the machine was not seeing older disks. Turns out that the drive was stuck as described above.
Needs some work I guess.... surprised though that the OS cannot see the disk.info icon for this disk. It is completely invisible. Even after I copied it to a new disk.
