I apologise for that absurd outburst.

I would just like to say, this is the most humble day of my life.

Just some beginner stuff: 2 Amiga 500s, external FD, 512kb expansion mem, RGB Scart, some random joysticks :lol:, Amiga mouse (Tank model) and some floppies... And a dead Commodore 64C with Datassette cassette drive and RGB->composite wire. And some tapes, self made with computer and normal recordable cassette deck :)

Hi, not sure if this is the right post to be discussing this issue but i have an Amiga 500+ which i have had for ages and i'm trying to get it working. I have the workbench 2.04 floppy but when i insert it, it attempts to load but then returns to the load screen and does nothing. I took the amiga apart and cleaned it but not sure what to do now! Any suggestions?

No, all the other disks don't work either. Do you think the floppy drive has failed?

It sounds like it unfortunately.  You could try a head cleaning disk if you can find one somehow, but it's a long shot.

Good luck.

P.S. Otherwise try http://www.amibay.com you might even get a floppy drive for free.
