Have you tried a different internal drive cable?
Have you tried using paragraphs or full stops? :)

It could well be the motherboard is faulty, but I'd make sure the rest of it is okay first. An external drive might appear as "bad" if the machine is jumpered to take an internal 2nd drive.

It could be the Paula chip, CIAs, or anything inbetween, but yes the CIAs are the best bet. Easiest test is to swap the CIAs over and see if the problems goes elsewhere.

As for paragraphs, maybe I meant punctuation.
