where'd you get it from? I hope it's not from the guy on Craigslist (San Francisco) that had been trying to sell it for many months...
Sorry to hear, but those Super Disk Interceptors are just generally crap. Also, they use their own file system, so it can be hard to get games to work. |

| Yep, you need to format the disk using a special util from whatever horrible company made those. However, if the disk drive doesn't light up or spin up, the drive may be dead. It's hard to tell from your description since you didn't tell us much. |

| Depending on the BIOS, these can actually load games from DOS disks, just not save to them. Yeah, it's an inconvenient copier, but on a technical level it's no worse than a SWC or PFX if you backup your own games. |

Because everyone with a copier is backing up their own games and playing those ROMs  |

Old topic, but just wanted to say that I have never had any problems with my unit. And I have been using it since 1994 
It's easy and fast... using it's own format doesn't make it any harder to use. You need to copy the files to disk with any other copier too |
