Is there any truth to the statement that one of the mods that makes the pc drive works with Escom 1200s also makes it so that the drive doesen't write disks for SH*& ? Is this just a case of a bad drives if not, or is there some other common cause of not wanting to write such as the particular model of pc drive ?

I undid the motherboard hack and hacked the drive that escom supplied so it had both disk change and ready and had no problems with it.
 
The motherboard hack is easy to undo & I can't see any reason why it would affect disk writing at all. Hacking the drives is harder.

Did it write like crap before you undid it ? I gather it has something to do with track 0...that is where this a1200 I have fails !

I barely used it before modding it, because most games didn't work.
 
I might just not like the disks because it's a high density pc floppy drive.
