-
- It is caused by the drive which does not provide the READY signal. AT uses
- PC-drives and they are somewhat different...
-
- The software waits for the READY-signal to go high, but as the drive doesn't
- have any influence on it, it waits forever...
-
- On AmiNet/hard/hack you can find a file Floppy_fix.lha which contains info on
- this and how it can be solved.
