Help with floppy drive


 

Hi all,

I'm trying to get data on the internal floppy drive of my AM700 audio analyzer, but its driving me crazy. The only thing I get is an error message "destination directory unavailable" or "copy failed. cannot copy output file".

- All the low level tests are PASS (except for the RTC due to empty battery).
- The floppy tests are also all PASS.
- Did the "stress test" with read, write, seek tests, all PASS.
- I can format and test a floppy without errors.

But when back to operational mode its just as if the disc is not formatted at all - although it was formatted by the unit itself! Formatting outside on a USB floppy does not work either. And the floppy that is formatted in the AM700 is not recognized outside. According to the manual its a 1.4M drive, so should be compatible to the USB floppys.

Any idea what I could do? I'm out of ideas right now...

cheers
Martin
