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...


SWOS boots from the disk only unless you have the hard drive installer which allows you to boot from the hard. The disk will just fail to be recognised by the Workbench screen, probably says the disk is uninitialised or df0??? or something like that.

I am somewhat confused by your post. You say you have a hard drive, which I assume opens in the operating system or Workbench. What happens if you put in a disk other than a games disk. Have you got a disk that you can format. If you are getting the clock with any disk that you put in then that is a problem with the drive . If however it is just when you put in games disks then that is probably the disk.

Need more information really. What disk are you trying to read. Is the disk a self booting game disk like Sensible World of Soccer.

Have you tried hooking up an external disk drive and running the disk or disks you are having issues with ?
