|
|
Hello,
got an interesting problem with my GDSF7: any time I connect a disk drive I get a "Disk Error (RDST)" message on startup. I tried another floppy drive from my Magic Drive and a new Gotek USB replacement, doesn't matter, same result, which leads me to assume something other than the floppy is fried. When the disk drive is not connected everything works fine, I can send and play games via parallel port.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix that? |

Since I'm out of ideas I'm trying to replace the floppy controller, just ordered a GM82C765B replacement chip. It's available pretty cheap from Aliexpress, but will probably take ages to arrive. |

Short update: GM82C765B replacement chip has arrived (from Ebay instead of AliExpress), exchanged the broken one and everything works. Yay. |
