My original eprom DFS stopped working (and stopped being recognised by the Beeb!) So I put an Acorn DFS chip in - version 1.20 (*help shows dfs 1.20, dfs,utils) The Drive is one I don't remember from the 80's - it says 'USD' user fiendly on the front, and appears to be made by mitsubishi. So to my problem.... The disk isn't spinning and I'm getting a 'Disk fault FF at 00/FF' everytime I try a 'shift-break' or even a *net. When I power the drive on is moves the disk approx 1/8th of a turn then stops. All cables seem to be connected OK, and internally the drive looks fine...HELP


Hi,

when you say the disk turns approx 1/8th of a turn, does the motor continue to run/struggle or does it just stop?

I had a quick glance for the Fault code but couldnt see any reference to it as yet.

Rich.
