- Hello,
- Recently I seem to have lost the ability to write
- to my hard drive. My setup is as follows.
-
- A2000
- GVP Impact Series 2 controller
- Quantum 105 drive (about 4 years old)
-
- The problem is as follows.
- Reading from the hard drive is all right, as far as I can tell.
- No data seems to be corrupted.
- However whenever I try to write to the drive, the write does not
- take place.
- I can create a directory, warm reboot, and the directory is not there.
- Similarly, when I do a recursive copy, the copy fails a few files into
- the copy.
-
-
- I have also started having erratic behaviour with both internal and
- external floppies. Read write errors on previously good disks. Usually
- on the same track (but I forget the track number)
-
- These two problems occurred together, and quite suddenly.
-
- The one amiga place I called suggestd the Quantum is the problem.
- I'm not sure, since I have not had any read/write errors with it
- at all, in fours years of operation.
-
- Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated. (Any chance the
- CIA's are the problem ?)
-
- please email atul@cadence.COM
