A3000 Floppy Disk drive not booting

[Retro_71]

Hi All,
Took out my A3000 after a while of not using it and a problem occurred. While trying to boot off an 3.1 Install or workbench floppy Df0 reads it and does nothing goes back to insert disk screen. It an 357 floppy drive i have tried 2 other 357 all know working, i have tried different cables but no go. I insert disk floppy reads it for 5 secs then back to insert disk screen.

A3000 rev 9.2 Board, onboard 030, new plc chips, new WD 08 scsi chip, i have a zip to simm converter, buster 7, ramsey 4 and 3.1 roms any ideas?

Tried different disks same things tried the disks in my a1200 all good.

although i have not tried that (fix the drive) i have tried 5 other drive 2 357, 2 354 and a teach which work on other systems and still no boot up. I have tried swapping the CIA's but no good.
If you put a disk in the Amiga recognized that a new disk has been put in but about a quick read of the disk it does nothing.

OK some news its seem to have been the Zip to simm coverter since i took it out it has at least booted but since my 3.1 disks are corrupt i have to wait until i can make new ones *.
On a side note i can't remember when inserting zip into your A3000 is the printing side facing the back (KS roms are) or front (where the accelerator card port is).

Can test the converter anymore since i broke one of the pins... oh well have to fix it later.
