Out of 30disks only one of them ripped successful. I tried both PAL and NTSC on win 7/8/10. I even bought two new floppy drives... read errors almost every second... any idea?

Then I'd check the external power supply to be sure that its atleast 5V 1A, some cheap supplies might not give the advertised amount, personally I use 5V 2A which should give atleast 1A out. And/or have you tested the disks on real Amiga, sometimes 30year old disks have error tracks in it. Or try with different floppy cable. As if you have tried multiple drives, that most likely its the cable or power.

I'll snag another power adaptor online. Mine might be faulty... Most of the disks do work on amiga proper. So I hope it is just power.

item received. A question : what kind of floppy cable should be used : the twisted one from a PC or the one from Amiga?

Direct floppy cable. Twisted part of the cable will not work. If you have cable with 3 connectors, then use the connector part before the twist.
