Hello, I could solve the problem! Thanks for the advice and sorry for late reply (we have many days off during may here in France so I am more enjoying the weather than staying home) Thank you for providing the Systest program, actually, I had already realigned the drive and tested it with...

Good morning, I made the test yesterday and I noticed that sometimes and randomly the drive will have a "hiccup" but without displaying a requester message. So I opened the drive and tried to adjust again the lower and upper heads with a flash light and a magnifier to make sure the notches of...

Hello, I will try to make a disk plenty of small files this weekend and report you the results. As for the games, I found a working NDOS one: Space Crusade. Loads fine both disks and plays well. And yes, there are genuine games, as you see there :) Envoyé de mon SM-N950F en utilisant Tapatalk

Hello and sorry for late reply, too much overtime in my work. @BLTCON0 : I made a test with the 4 NDOS game disks and the results are these: - Wrestlemania: will only read 1 sector then the display remains white, drive LED on and the Amiga is hanging up there. - Knightmare: Will display black...

Hello, @BLTCON0: Well I think that the drive RDY signal works. After checking the PIN34 voltage with multimeter I can confirm that it's 5V while the drive is idle, and become something low like 0.13V after the motor started spinning... Is there any other part that could be verified to find out...

Hello, @BLTCON0: I have a working external drive, "California Access" brand, I opened the case and swapped the disk drive inside with the Panasonic. Booted the workbench from DF0, then DF1 is doing it's clicking normally, but when inserting any disk it will fail to read it and end up in a...

Hi everybody, I am facing a bit weird issue with one of my floppy drives. I restored few Amiga drives lately with success, but this one is not working at a 100% level. It is a Panasonic JU-253-033P, found in many A500s. I did the following to the drive: - Full dust removal and heads cleaning...

Good evening, I got a bit similar problem today, while trying to install CWB 3.9 on my CF and put it in my Blizzard'ed ACA'ed A500+ My 4GB CF is also made of 2 partitions both PFS3. I made the installation entirely in uae, and it was failing to start on the A500+, blankscreen after the second...

Hello, Declaring interest. Sending PM now.

Thanks for your advices! Yes, I definitely think I'll opt for getting an A500+ with 1mb expansion. Other solutions may be kinda difficult to find, or risky. I'll hunt for A500+, will keep you informed when I'll get my hands on it. Thanks again :)

Thanks for reply. I tried to look around for Megachip, MiniMegi and similar, but no luck. My A500 is a Rev6A mobo coming with a 8372A Agnus (I did put some pics in my profile, can upload bigger ones if needed) Howhever, if I switch to a A500+ mobo, will the CFIDE mod and the SupraRAM still...

Hello, I am currently looking for a DKB MegAChip or similar, 1mb or 2mb model is fine, for a PAL Amiga 500. In case Agnus is missing, it should be fine too (as I already have a 8375 one here) Thanks in advance! Fab

Hello, I am trying to find a way to get more than 1MB chip memory on my A500. My setup is the following : (I think I'll take some pictures during the week) Motherboard 6A, soldered sockets with 512Kb on the free places. A501 Expansion, replaced battery 68010 CPU 3.1 ROM CFIDE68k mod with 4GB...

Greetings to everybody, I'm Fab from France, I live in Paris, and I'm glad to become part of your community. My dad gave me an A500 as Christmas present when I was child, I kept it along with me since that time and upgraded it to enhance it as much as possible, and I am still looking to go...
