Hi Group,
A friend of mine gave me an Amiga 1000 and we tested the floppy drive, but it does not work. It is an NTSC machine and when the Amiga boots and gets to the workbench insert screen, nothing happens. There is no mechanical sounds coming from the floppy drive. So, it looks like I need another floppy drive. First, does anyone have a working floppy drive they want to sell?
Second, can I use the floppy disk drive from my Amiga 500? Or, how about my Amiga 1010 external drive? Or my external Supra drive?
I know this is probably a well-trodden path. If I can't find one I suppose I can install a DF0/DF1 switcher and boot the workbench from one of my 1010's. Is there any of those switchers available?
Lot's of questions, I know but I do want to fix it and play with my new Amiga!
Regards,
Rob
