Amiga test kit read floppy results
I can't really find concrete documentation on amiga test kits results on some tests. For example on the floppy read test i typically get all green 0 blocks, but sometimes i get a red 1 or 2 or B. I figure B is bad block, but is the 1 or 2 stand for the number of tries til a good read or does it stand for something else?

The number is the amount of missing sectors.
Either your drive is not quite aligned, perhaps the head carriage isn't sliding freely, your heads might be dirty or the disk is bad. |

Thanks Jope, appreciate the info on this. Looks like i need to look a bit closer at these floppy drives to make sure they are gonna be okay.
