A friend of mine has an Amiga 600 and he tells me that, when he inserts a floppy disk into the keyboard drive, the Amiga only seems to read the disk 1 or 2 times out of 10! The remaining 8 or 9 times the message "Insert Disk" stays on the screen. He thinks that the problem may have been caused by inserting disks at the wrong angle. I'm fairly competent with IBM compatibles but know nothing about Amigas :-( Can anyone give me any advice as to what could be causing this problem....and any ways it could be rectified? Are the Amigas drives similar to a PCs? Can the drive be fixed or will it need to be replaced (I know these are difficult questions to answer)? Many thanks in advance for any help on this :-) ------------------------------------------------ Nick Birchall nab@birchall.u-net.com http://www.u-net.com/~birchall/ ------------------------------------------------
