I did, so to be honest I don't really know what is going on... maybe my other drive needs recapping too.

Holy moly it works!!

After all this time it could have just been the floppy drive being a pain in the ass..Seems like it at least. Time will tell.
Thank you so much for persevering with my machine. One day'll i'll get a blitter chip and pop it back for fitting, aha.

Next stop, getting my mega file working at home once everything is picked up!

:cheer:

Thanks to everyone offering help and suggestions during the process too.

Good to see this. Had so many road blocks with my 'New' machine, lesser determined people would have chucked the towel in. Glad you got it sorted.
