I've got a shelf full of floppies here and figure 70% of them may have errors at this point...oh well.

...working on getting cd driver working now to try to get things straight before I wipe the working OS...argh!  the joys of floppydom.

machine is fine, weak link is magnetic media that's 12 years old....

How about grabbing some better quality DD floppies, I even see some for sale new old stock? Then since you own 3.1, just dump ADFs back to floppy to create them.

I'd love to actively use an A4000T but I can't afford the eBay prices. I wish I found one before all this collecting for money started.

The floppy drive may need cleaning too. The cleaner disks aren't so easy to find any more though. There is always the disassemble and use cotton swabs and alcohol but it's riskier.
Too bad Commodore shunned the CD except for the CDTV & CD32.

I don't think Commodore shunned the CD but if memory serves when the A4000 was released they were still fairly expensive. If C= had been in business just a few years more - with the success of the CD32 I'm sure they'd have migrated right over to CDROM for the computers as well. I think I remember paying $500 for a 2X SCSI CDR drive back in 1993.
