firmware that turns on ok and lights up. The existing floppy drive and
2 other floppies I have tried in it's place don't seem to want to
work. I Formatted a os 4.4 disk using windows 98 and all seemed to go
well but the s1000 doesn't want to recognise it. The usual "format not
recognised" and "trying a different density" and then the next stage
is when I try to format I get "disc is write protected" I am doing
this all under os 2 and 1.44 meg HD discs. Do I need to initially use
720 kb discs under v2 to upgrade os then load os in and try
formatting? I only ask as I haven't got a 720 kb disc and would go
hunting only if somebody thought it may solve the problem.
I have of course made sure the write protect on the disc is off!!!
Good to see there is a group of people out there using the s1000 and I
hope to join you soon
Cheers
Andy

Sounds like your
Floppy drive is shot, I too have the KBS1000 but I converted the floppy drive to
a ZIP 100 drive. I can set you up with the correct items to make
the change, do you have SCSI? You will have to send your SCSI card to www.Route66studios.com for the SCSI
card update, they alos have the KBS1000 4.40 ver eproms.
