Hi if I remember right the European 128D is different than the U.S. made
128DCR, but maybe some
things are similar.

I have 3 128DCR's and they all had the same problem.
There was a guy in the U.S. Al Anger that did a hack years ago, what this
does is you cut one trace and
solder onto the pad of the cut trace and 2 other traces you solder wires
onto, on the other end of these wires you solder the wires to a simple
OFF/ON toggle switch.  This totally disables the internal 1571
controller board, but the usual IEC serial port is not affected and you can
then use Device#8 since the internal 1571 ties this up (really frustrating). 
But Im not sure if the Plastic European 128D internal 1571 
circuit is on a separate board or on the Motherboard?  I think Al was doing
this on a 128DCR, but I can
find out if he included the European model.
I did this hack to one of my 128DCR's and the annoying problem of disks has
gone away and the only real
solution I can think of.  I will look for the paper for this hack and post
again.
