[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1037304, member: 199791"] The only SCSI drives I have are the Ultra wide type pulled from a Compaq server I had some years back, so no use unfortunately... As for the FDD, is it not just something like a failed capacitor inside the thing? I had a similar issue with an external FDD I bought for my Amiga, the FDD itself was "dead" (the interface worked fine with a modded modern FDD), but there was a leaked SMD capacitor inside, after removing it, cleaning the mess up and soldering in a new one, it worked perfectly, so that might be something worth looking into... :) [/QUOTE]
