Hi, I believe my Qubide chips are not working as they should. At first I copied my master floppy disk to improve matters and as things didn't improve I assumed my master disk was faulty; but I now realize my master floppy is ok. Its the chips. Where can I get replacement chips?

I had similar problems when I used Qplane backplane. The problem went away with Mplane. I reckoned at the time it was a noise issue. What backplane do you have Arnold? Try a different arrangement of cards - maybe qubide nearer the QL, if you are using Qplane.
