Hi everyone i'm a new amiga user but have been lovin it.
I recently got my hands on an a1200 and have upgraded the roms to 3.1 and added Blizzard 1230 IV accelerator card. It was all working fine and then a couple of days latter it took ages to boot to get to the kickstart 3.1 screen. It also takes ages to get to the menu when you hold the 2 mouse buttons. When I insert the workbench disk I can hear the floppy kick into action for a few ticks and the LED flickers and the screen goes purple and then back to the 3.1 kickstart screen and the floppy LEDs are no longer flashing. I have tried with other floppys and it does not seem to want to boot them. I have also tried a minimal build by taking off the accelerator card but it still does the same thing, and i have checked the roms are seated correctly.
I personally think the floppy might have died but to make sure I am checking with you guys on this forum!
Cheers, Richard
