I've recently bought an SS20, which has a floppy drive fitted. When I try
to access the drive (including `eject floppy`), I get :
fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (st0 70<abnrml,seek_cmplt,drv_chck> st1 0 st2 0 cyl 0 head 207 sec 7)
After this, the PROM's `test floppy` fails and I have to reset the machine
before it will pass the test. The drive probes as :
fdc0 at obio0 slot 0 offset 0x700000 level 11 softpri 4: chip 82077
fd0 at fdc0 drive 0: 1.44MB 80 cyl, 2 head, 18 sec
If there's no disk in the drive when I try to access it, I also get :
fd0: timeout: state 7
fdc: spurious interrupt: state 8, istate=3
I've tried putting a working floppy from an IPC in, but nothing changed. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
J
PS. Running 1.4.1.
