Floppy disk Goldwave 3A-1D external floppy drive

Hi all!

I get a strange behaviour with my external goldwave 3A-1D floppy drive. It doens't seem to send to the amiga that the disk has changed, so when I'm in the WB i just type into the CLI "diskchange df1:" but when games/apps require to change (or insert) a disk, they will not recognize them because of the problem.

Does anyone altered the circuit of the board in the drive to let it work??

Thanx!!!!!

Bye!

If you've got an oscilloscope or good multimeter, you could check to see if the disk change signal is getting through to the Amiga. It could be just a bad connection...

Maybe a a small drop of contact-liquid into the disk-insertion pin inside the drive will help ? ( as long as it isn't broken )
