Re: Some dumb Amiga HD floppy questions....

When I've had problems with my HD floppy in the past its been because the switch in the drive (select, write protect and HD) have become unreliable. It seems they build up a layer of oxidation over time. I've been able to get them working again (so far) by taking the drives out and spraying the switch with contact cleaner and then working the switch 30 or 40 times. Give this a try.
