I've had a few problems with 3.5" floppy drives on my IIgs, wondering if anyone else had ever had such a problem. I have four drives and I have tried all of them, and they seem to work for a bit, they I get "unable to load Prodos" and the like, even on disks that had worked not long before. The 5.25 floppy drive is working fine though. I think it may be a problem with the IIgs itself as all the drives are doing the same thing, any ideas? :-/
With all your drives behaving the same way, it's either the controller - or, more likely, the media. These aren't high density (HD) floppies, are they? That's exactly the behavior I see with them.
