Just a wild guess but might be worth checking before shelling out. If not the issue, Amiga on the Lake sometimes has new ones in stock for a reasonable price.

I believe I'm using double-density disks. I only recently got these machines and I'm not particularly familiar with Amiga, but the disks are labeled double-density and when I have the 3000 DOS-format one, then stick it in my USB floppy drive, Linux recognizes it as a 720KB disk.


I'll checkout Amiga on the Lake, thanks!

I tested them with my external drive enclosure.

Ideally I'd like to find something that at least fills the case's cutout properly, but I may check in with you again if I don't have luck finding something that matches. Thank you.
