High Density Drive Problem.....

THX1138 · 13 November 2005, 17:00

I have a SONY MPF920-E High Density disk drive in my A3000T.

It has an Amtrade Real HD-Drive A357 attachment on the back of it.

It mentions this being used with the 4000 but not a 3000....but this shouldn't make any difference,should it ?

When i put a disk in,it says DF0:Unreadable.

Any ideas.....?

so it's like, a normal PC drive, and the adaptor is a clone of the power xl thingy?

According to that link it was supplied with a modified TEAC mechanism?

Now you have it plugged into a Sony mechanism. Can you see whether there's any modifications done to it after it left the factory?
