I tried another disc and another until, I had probably gone through 20 of them with no joy the same result each time.

Congratulations with your find. :-)
As other people pointed out, your A500+ has a battery which has likely leaked. In the A500, this battery was located on the ram expansion which would spare the motherboard for a while if it would leak. From your explanation it sounds like your FDD interface or drive might be the problem. It detects a disk being inserted but cannot read it properly.
