Hello,
I've recently acquired an Atari Falcon and the floppy drive seems to be bad on it (it starts reading floppies, but it gives a media not readable error, and then the floppy and main LED lights blink continuously). Tried to replace it with my HxC drive, but for some weird reason the power wires seem to be reversed (5V on the red one, not on blue). When switching the wires I get power on the HxC but the computer does not load anything (keeps saying the drive A has issues). Anyone experienced this or should the HxC work the same way as it does on the ST?
I am looking into buying an IDE CF drive but from what I've read I need to load the HD driver from floppy. Is this the case ? What are my options ? Thanks
