A1200 Floppy Guru Errors
« on: December 21, 2017, 02:13:07 AM »
Good evening all..  Getting back into my Amiga 1200 and when I boot the machine all is good, but if I insert a floppy into the drive while at the workbench it Gurus...   If I leave the floppy in the drive and reboot it brings up the Workbench and I can click on the floppy and read from it, but then if I eject the floppy it gurus again..

Weird..  

This floppy drive works flawless on my 2000, and one of my other floppy drives works fine on the A1200..  

Any ideas as to why this drive does not work on this A1200?

BLTCON0:

The drive is completely outside of the case and is touching nothing at all at this point..
(And since this drive works perfectly on my 2000, I am not ready to cut any wires just yet..)

OLDS MIKE:

May be a hardware incompatibility of some sort as this is a replacement drive for an A2000 and as stated it works fine in my 2000..  

Any chance the drives from the 200 vs the 1200 are different and maybe some kind of incompatibility?

A lot of great information guys and I really appreciate it..
I disconnected the drive and hooked it back up again and rebooted..

...And now it works fine..

Just one of those weirdnesses I guess..
Thanks again..
