- U should tell some more details.Which kind of 1541 does he owns ?
- My 1541c for instance couldn't find track 18 sector 0,because
- the lightbarrier (photo sensor ....?) was defect.
- Older Versions do not have a lightbarrier.
- The next problem could be a shortcut,i mean that the floppy always
- does a reset.Then sometimes cleaning the floppy could help.
- And so on.
