Hi all!
Recently got a sweet C64c and 1541-II disk drive from here. Thing is, got it all powered up and the three disks I've tried so far won't give me a directory listing of the disk. Each time I try the drive whirs up and then does the "machine gun" sound and then I get an error on screen and te wee drive light flashes.
Now - i do not believe for an instant that this was like this before it was shipped to me as the vendor tested it and I 100% believe that it was fine.
The packaging was also awesome and the drive was extremely well protected so I am not at all getting at the vendor (just to make it clear) but wondered if a) there is something I'm doing wrong.. or b) is there something I can do to try and fix it please?
Thanks for your advice in advance
Cheers
John
PS - Blankstare gave me a great link to a couple of Euro to UK plug adapters and I bought them so I could use my new purchases. They're fab but the thread closed before I could thank him - so thanks Blankstare
