- Hi,
- Hope that someone out there can help me with a problem that seems to
- be gettin worse :((
-
- My setup is as follows :-
- A1200 + 030 + 6meg
- 1 overdrive (420)
- 2 external HD`s (2*540)
- 1 external floppy
- 1 external High Density Floppy
-
- The problem seem to be READ ERRORS especially if the disk has been
- inserted in drive 1, I can format a disk in drive 0 with no errors then
- insert it in to drive 1 and its fine, take it out and put it in D1 l8er
- and it comes up with a read error on block 880!... beginning to become
- a pain in the arse coz if i write anything to the disk in D1 it then
- seems to take on read errors all over the place.
-
- I am not to sure whether the problem could lie in the fact that the
- Overdrive takes its power from the Floppy port and the connections are
- a bit tight (bloody stupid idea). maybe someone could tell me the
- voltage and polarity needed so that i could use an adapter for the
- overdrive and get rid of the silly lead or maybe if someone knows
- whether archos have a web/ftp/email address that i can contact them and
- ask them
-
- Thanks
- Mitch
