Re: 5.25 floppy question

Thanks for the tips Alastair !

I popped it open this evening and the belt that spins the disc had dropped off ! Took ten minutes to fix and reassemble :)
I also cleaned the belt and pullies while I was there.

All working again hurrah !

Re: How to burn .VDK files to floppy disk to use on Dragon

Thanks for all the help guys !

I'm not sure which method I will use. Getting an old floppy drive for my old PC will probably be the cheapest option but maybe not the most reliable lol

Re: 5.25 floppy question

I managed to get my disk drive working. The internal transformer had died. Running it off an ATX power supply and it is working fine :)

Big thanks to some very smart people on facebook who helped me diagnose the problem.

Re: 5.25 floppy question

Well it seems that my Dragon single disk unit is faulty :( Hooked it up to the computer tonight for the first time and it made a constant buzzing noise. Upon trying to run a DIR command on an inserted OS9 disk I am getting a SK? error, which I am assuming means seek error. I popped the top off the d...
