Mouse & floppy problems on A500
« on: May 25, 2011, 11:56:03 AM »
Can anyone help with my problems


Mouse
One of my A500s (rev 6 board)
move the mouse in any direction and it goes down and right - no up or left
i have tried two mice with the same problem.

The mice work fine on another A500

Floppy
Same A500 put in a disk eg "Workbench" and after much clicking as if loading tell mes the disk is "Not a DOS disk" but use an old demo etc which isn't a standard disk format and it will load it happily.
I can use an external to load the same DOS disk so dont think its the disk

Can anyone help/advise

Tried that no joy
on the good news side I have got it working with a serial mouse
Thanks for the idea - I thought that was only for serial/printer problems
