Sounds like a bad floppy drive! Re-do the disk and try it in a desk top or with a different floppy drive! I tested the zip files I sent to you in a 280c and 2300 with a known good floppy worked fine. (I even tried on a PC formatted floppy which also worked) If your using a dock then try opening the dock to make sure your connections are good and none of the cables are loose. Brandy
