Default A1200 Internal Floppy
Sorry. Another request here.

I have an A1200 bog standard edition. Sometimes when changing disks the floppy doesn't register the disk change and mount the device. I quite foolishly opened the computer/ floppy drive and accessed a disk so I could see what was going on.

When the new disk enters the drive the head doesn't reset and mount the disk. The only way I can get it to mount is to slightly press the eject button which springs the drive to life again.

Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone know what is going on?
Is the drive on it's way out, who knows?

P.S Is there anyway to reduce the access noise from an A600 Chiron internal floppy drive. It is doing my head in, and my baby daughter when I am up late tinkering around?

Thank you

those old drives are very noisy.
i can only recommend to get a large drive and use virtual floppy instead

I have been pricing up a new Hardisk and will probably be getting one soon. Time moves on and I need to escape the nostalga of yesteryear. Thank you for replying so quickly
