I am going thru a bunch of floppies
and with this system all the floppies read the same.
sometimes doing a DIR of C then A works, but usually chkdsk a:/f reads the true disk then I can read the directory.
I have heard that cutting the CHANGELINE wire helps
but why dioes it happen and then stop happening, |

I had that problem in the past also.
The only way I could replicate it was when I would dir a floppy disk with a couple bad sectors in the fat of the disk then try to read another floppy after that. (aka I could repeat it endlessly whenever I would read a certain bad floppy)
You might have some semi-dying floppy disks in your pile.
Good Luck |
