Hi everyone. I got myself a stock 1050 drive some weeks ago and played with it for the first time this weekend. While testing, I noticed some strange behaviour.
I always have to allow the drive to read couple of floppies to warm up before I start to format or copy. Without this, I can still read fine but any attempt to format or copy whole discs results an error 173 (a density recognition problem). I used Dos 2.0.
When drive gets hot enough, the problem disappears.
Has anybody experienced this?
