- Hello All;
- I have an Amiga 1000 system and just recently, I noticed that
- I get a read error message when I try to load just about any
- of my programs. I am using the original Amiga 3-1/2" drive which
- came with the system. Is it possible that this may be wearing
- out and not working as well as it used to ? I am able to load
- the Kickstart program as well as the Workbench program so I know
- the drive is working to some extent. Anyone have any ideas as to
- why the system is suddenly unable to read most of my applications
- programs ?
-
- Also ... Is it possible to replace the existing 3-1/2" drive with
- a brand new one off-the-shelf of most computer stores or do I
- have to buy it from Amiga ? In other words ... is there anything
- special about the drive which makes it unique ? If I can
- replace it with any other one, can someone tell me how I'd need to
- set the jumpers (on the drive unit)?
-
- Thank You Very Much ...
