subject: Amiga floppy issues

Hi all,

Trying my luck with an Amiga issue on this C= echo.

I'm having issues with formatting (nevermind writing to or reading from) floppies on my 1200.

I've basically stiffed the internal drive. Now, trying to format a floppy in my external drive...I get a consistent "Couldn't format Cylinder 0" error. The floppies in question were very well cared for and previously working fine - and it is happening across all of them.

I'm worried I have somehow fried the drive logic on the motherboard, as I was previously having the same issue on the internal drive (leading to my ill-fated  repair attempts.)

Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated!
