Sounds like a Power Supply problem to me. Are these drives +5V only or are they +5V +12V If they are +5V only you may need a bigger PSU. RON -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andreas Berger Sent: 21 March 2001 07:45 To: [EMAIL

I assume you have Toolkit II enabled (TK2_EXT): I get the same results below ONLY if TK2 is enabled. If i insert only in flp2_ a disk and do "dir flp1_" the flp1_ LED is activated and i get a "Nicht gefunden" (not found). Seems a right error msg: no disk in drive error

There is a command in the Goldcard to set the step rate which has to be set for some drives and causes them to rattle when not right. I don't have a manual to hand and can't remember the command syntax but maybe you can look it up or somebody 'listening' in knows it off by heart?
