So my floppy drive has been acting weird...
In the middle of reading it would prompt to replace the disk. Figure out it was still there, read some more and prompt again. Plus it would constantly re-try reads. You know that sound they make when there is a disk error. oh: It was unusable.
Internal A3K HD floppys are hard to find so I wanted to do everything I could to get this one working again.
I tore it down and wow! look at the dirt build up! No wonder it doesn't work right. Cleaned every thing up paying close attention not to damage the heads. Hooked it up on the desk to test it out before putting everything back together and success! It works great. DD and HD floppies read/write perfectly.
