This looks exactly how my drive is behaving, it throws errors "drive not ready" or "disk write protected" and then reinserting the disk often solves the problems. So it seems very likely that these contacts are not working properly. Now the question is, how easy would it be to disassemble the drive to clean the contacts? I would not like to danage it obviously as finding a replacement is difficult. Regards, Michau. Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2015-11-20 08:00:09
