sorry banjo, I'm confused
- are you saying both floppies have packed up now? - sorry if this sounds silly, but have you checked that your ribbon cable is ok & that the red stripe side is connected to 'pin 1' at both the drive & motherboard end? It should also connect 'end to end' with the end with the twisted wires connected to the drive, not the motherboard.
