I decided to take on the task of making adf files of all my old disks and some new old disks I acquired with the 2 non-working 2000's I picked up recently.
Here's the problem I just had my second drive go bad.
The first drive started squeaking when I put a disk in and by the time I took it out the drive would no longer read. Is it fixable like a bad drive belt or something? I've never opened up a floppy drive.
The second drive was half way through copying and adf when the noise started.
I'm using a null modem cable and Amiga Explorer to make the adf files.
Is there anything I can do to check the floppies before i just put them in?
what steps should I take to prevent another drive failure?
Yeah I know just don't use a drive! what other options are there?
