<div>I wouldn't say wrong, but I'm guessing the audience here is small-ish for that kind of gear/issue. People have asked about repairing things way beyond music gear, so I don't think it's against policy.</div>

Thanks for the recommendation. I guess I’ll give Facebook a try. Is this the wrong place to be asking the type of question I did?

<div>As much as I dislike Facebook, there is a Vintage Synth Repair group (that might not be the exact name) that is *very* active. Of course with Facebook there is no decent search-able archive, so you'd have to ask the question from scratch. Also there are
a ton of SP1200 fan sites (if you haven't tried them already).</div>

Hi all,
<div>I have an Sp1200 that will not format or write to floppy. I’ve confirmed the drive is working on a different Sp1200. It reads fine. Tried a Gotek and still won’t write so it has to be something in the sp1200.</div>
<div>I confirmed the 7407 buffer feeding most of the floppy lines is good. Confirmed the Z80 sio that handles the floppy is good. </div>
<div>Now I’m getting lost as to where else to look. Anybody seen anything similar to this? Most advice I’ve seen is that it’s a bad floppy drive but I’m pretty sure that isn’t the issue here.</div>
<div>Thanks in advance!</div>
