The Ubiquitous & Fickle Amiga Floppy!

[CritAnime]

There was someone on ebay selling refurbished drives. If he still is or not I don't know. Might be worth a check. In the end I never bothered replacing my old drive after the second one.  I just went to emulated drives. However this means I now have games that are essentially useless.

Why are the games useless?

Well they are not useless. It's the wrong word to use. Should I say the aren't useful for my Amiga 600 as the emulated drive runs off a sd card. I can still play them on the 1200 but I don't get it out regular enough.

I have had to throw loads of floppies away as they refused to work. And this is after trying them numerous times. Most failed to load at all a couple worked for a little while then refused to load when trying to load a second level for example.

Much like my c64 tapes age and environmental conditions get the better of them eventually.
