However, they work perfectly with the Amigaos 3.1. A third unit, made in 2001, works fine with all the friends I've tried. All units work with the Amiga Test Kit tests. The tests were carried out on two A3000s, one A500 and one A4000, the result was the same on all machines. With an Alps unit I have too, the same errors occurred.

AFAIK, amiga os (trackdisk.device) doesn't use the READY signal to determine if the drive is up to speed, but uses a timed delay instead - I wonder if this delay was changed in 3.2.1.
