my A3000 boots from HD, but cannot get floppy to work
where to start?
I have known working drives off my A1200 that do not work with the 3000... |

Does the A3000 floppy drive click on and off when you power on the Amiga? As it’s waiting for a floppy disk to be inserted? If not, then it’s either power or actual drive related. |

Amiga compatible DD mechanisms will work fine in the A3000. Ones out of an A500 will also fit physically without any standoffs/modifications.
Amiga Test Kit's floppy drive tests will be of use when debugging this. |

I will get it all setup soon on the workbench (my desk, not on the screen) and try it out to see. |
