Hi
I've just bought an apple2e which *had* a working floppy drive.
After trying to format some disks in it with dos3.3 it
now does not work.
I use to be able to boot of certain disks.
Now when I put a disk in and reset or power on all that
happens is the disk spins but the system does not boot.
I replaced the drive with another one which worked fine
until I tried the format again.
Each format by the way, gave an IO error.
What could be going on here?
Is there a way I can get my drives to work again??
Thanks
Michael.
