A4000D Floppy Failure
Hi There.
Does anyone know where I can get some HD floppy drives from for my A4000D. Are there any HD PC drives which will work with it? Thanks in advance. |

Ebay is a no show really.
AmiKit sell floppys for £14, but I really want to replace with HD ones. (I assume AmiKits are just DD, they dont say they're HD). I took a drive from my A1500, and it works(ish) as DD, but I feel like I'm missing something. |

I'll have a go.
I cant make it any worse. It seems to be having a bit of trouble spinning the disk. Nasty grinding sound and loads of read/write errors. I got 3 4000D's, all working except for the bloody floppy drives. The only drives I can get to work are in my A1500 which has been in my garage for about three years! Who'd have thought! |
