Sounds like the floppy cable might be in upside-down or something. Double-check, or try with another cable?

Again: change CIA and Paula.

You can swap 'em from any other from A1000 to A3000 versions! The CIAs are different only in A600/1200/4000/CD32 (SMD versions).

And you can buy replacements from Amigakit or Vesalia. They have the chips in stock.

Not exactly. The 12V line is used only in the audio circuit and to feed the termination rail for SCSI devices.

Replace Paula.

Check the electrolytic capacitors (swap 'em). Also look for burned traces, bad fuses and, specially, bad SCSI cables (nothing to do with audio business, but the problem can be on it).

I replaced the CIA's and now the floppy drive works!
But i did 'kill' one CIA by trying the +12V when i got the floppy drive working. The the floppy drive didnt work again untill i replaced the CIA (one nearest to the back of the machine)
