*** SOLVED *** 3.5 " floppy connection to qdisc interface

[Dave]

If you unplug the newer floppy, do you still have problems with the older floppy? Do you have problems with disks that were written on one drive being read on the other?

[Andi B.]

It seemed that there was no system in the appearence of the problems.

But to be honest - I have to clean up my desk and mark the available disks.
Then I have to make tests to find out, which drive can read/write which disks and if there is a pattern visible...

[Dave]

Ok.

I recommend you start a new thread for this, because having it under a thread for a different problem tagged ***SOLVED*** might confuse some people and get you less help

Hello,
I have some problems with my disk drives.
As a controller I use a Sandy Board with 512KB and the drives are a "modern" TEAC (1,44MB) and an old TEAC (720KB; Atari ST). The disks I have are used HD disks. And the QL is a German one (with German error messages - so I don't know the exact English ones...)

Is theSandy board able to format HD disks? Not all of the early QL disk interfaces could.

Hello Dilwyn, I format them with 720KB on both drives...
