Hi all.
I have a problem with my floppies drives.
They are connected by a twistled cable (thank Derek) to a Tetroid SGC. Time ago the flp2_ began to work badly and finally, inserting the disk it makes immediately a rustling noise. So I replaced the drive with an other.
Now the new drive works ...

Hi Mark.
Many years ago I had the same identical problem.
It was that one of the two JM rom was faulty.
I see that you mount a minerva.

Best regards.

Hi everyone.
I believe that moving criticisms to Derek, or to Peter, Norman, Per, Qbits, and I apologize for all the others who, at the moment, I forget, being they the pillars of our QL world, is simply by ungrateful and idiots. :cry:

I would exclude a PSU overload because my Ql is inserted in a pc case with double power supply, a standard pc PSU for floppies, Kilgus VGA 2.0, and an internal fan, and the original Ql PSU for the motherboard and peripherals.
Thank for your help.

Marco


Marco,
