a1200 fdd problems
« on: October 23, 2009, 04:15:16 AM »
I decide to rebuilt my a1200 back from the closet and i have a problem (maybe a silly one but makes me crazy). I have two a1200 and commodore and escom, both seems fine and runs good but no one recognize disks, booting with a disk into the fdd and happens nothing, inserting a disk on workbench all are displaying like DF0:unreadable.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Im still with the same problem... at this moment i cleaned the disk drive heads with isopropilic alcohol and still the same, disk inserting, disk drive make some clicks and kickstart screen appears again.

Yes is a crappy problem but when is in all of my machines becomes a mistery, if anyone can help... thanks.
