Hi all,
Trying my luck with an Amiga issue on this C= echo.
I'm having issues with formatting (nevermind writing to or reading from)
floppies on my 1200.
I've basically stiffed the internal drive. Now, trying to format a floppy in my
external drive...I get a consistent "Couldn't format Cylinder 0" error. The
floppies in question were very well cared for and previously working fine - and
it is happening across all of them.
I'm worried I have somehow fried the drive logic on the motherboard, as I was
previously having the same issue on the internal drive (leading to my ill-fated
repair attempts.)
Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated!
