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

2002-01-28 by Rob EmuArc

Hi,
It sounds like a read problem, especially if you are confident the media is
okay.

The head of the floppy drive is quite large and can be accessed from the
right hand side of the drive, you may need to take the drive out the EII to
reach it properly. Be careful not to touch the PSU, as it can give you a
jolt even when powered off. Use a cotton bud. I can send you a photo if you
are having problems tracking the head down.

For users who can't boot from 5.25" the 3.5" floppy drive kit comes with a
free OS diskette (you choose which version) on 3.5" media, so you can boot
up the EII.

Rob

Hello,

thanks for your information. Display says 'Boot in progress' and
changes to 'insert diskette' ignoring the fact that there are some
inside, still scanning drive 1 and 2 and so one...

How can I clean the headers btw, how can I reach them safly? I got
some 51/4 cleaning floppys but I think due the ignorance of my eII
the heads don't come out of their inital position.

Greetings,

Malte Steiner
