It seems my FZ is definitely dead.
The pc detects it, but, the heads have a problem : they can't find floppy sectors. Sometimes, they find them (it's very rare)
I found some info on the net : the fz-357 was for the PCs and the FZ-357A was for amigas. The one i have is a fz-357.

Thanks for checking your drive

The smd-380 don't start spinning while pressing the pin, although i cleaned it.
I read this drive was principally used in ataris, not in amigas ? (the board of the smd is a smd300dd).
About the RD jumper : where is it ? because i have the following : R-WhiteSquare-D. shall i jumper R-WhiteSquare ?
