English Amiga Board - View Single Post - WTB: A2000-compatible floppy drive (USA)

There seems to be something wrong with the Chinon FB-354 in my 2500. It can't read floppies written by my 3000 (the 3000's drive seems to be fine, I've been using it to transfer files in conjunction with a FAT floppy and a USB floppy drive on my Linux box). Instead, it displays every disk as DF0:BAD.

I've got a Gotek in the mail but it would be nice to have a functioning real drive in this machine. Does anyone in the US have a drive they can part with? I specify the US because I'm sure international shipping would cost more than the drive itself!
