Re: [emulatorII-list] eII doesnt recognize disk insert

2002-01-28 by Joerg S

Hi Malte,
I had this problem as well. The Emu couldn't read from any drive.
I have cleaned the heads several times with no result. A swap from upper to 
lower drive helped for a short time.
The only solution that brought me back in business was to replace one drive 
to a 3 1/4 drive. You can buy it at the EMU shop. Not cheep but it's worth 
because the emu works fine after that.
Problem when the upper drive doesn't work is to get formated disk for the 
lower drive. My upper drive worked one more time(after I hitted the drive 
some times) so I made could make some formating disks.

Best regards//J\ufffdrg
