FD0 too emotionally attached?
« on: May 12, 2007, 06:50:50 PM »
Hi guys!

So, i have a panasonic JU 253-043P that works great on a A500.
It loads, saves, etc, in WB. Also, in x-copy, i can make copies just fine.

Here's the deal: If i move it from the original board where the drive is at (A500 REV 6) and place it in an A500 REV 6A, the drive performs fine, BUT, in xcopy, it wont make a copy. It reads the source disk just fine, but all i get is DF1 errors code 8 at the destination disk (DF1? the jumper is at DF0!) Note: I'm using just one drive: DF0 as source and destination.

Anybody can shed some light on this?

BTW, where can i get a pc drive - amiga drive adapter?

Cheers.  :cheers:

I think we need some more information:

 The second A500 (6A) boots directly from floppy?

 Does it have any expansions?

 Do you use the same cable on both systems?

 Any strange hack in one or another?

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Boas!

Sim, ambos arrancam da disquete.

Não, nenhum tem expansões. Só mesmo a board.

Sim, usei os mesmo cabos. (Alimentação e dados)

Não, as boards estão de origem. Pelo menos uma está, a outra não a vi por baixo mas não parece mexida)

Yes, both boot from the diskdrive.

No, just the board.

Yes, i used the same cables.

No, both boards seem to be in off the factory state. At least, one of them i know it is, and the other seems to be that way too, but i didn't see it underneath.
