A500 external and internal floppy conflict
« on: October 07, 2011, 04:18:42 PM »
Hey ALL

I'm having a strange issue with my Amiga 500. When I boot with both floppies attached booting goes to first screen both drives go insynch and start reading together like they are both fd0. Of cuz this cuz a error message appears. I took external floppy part. It's the same fb-354 but with different control board. When I disconnect external floppy drive my 500 boots up no problem. HELP!

Thanks.
