Hey everyone!
I’m a college student in aeronautical engineering and I recently got into the vintage PC hobby by getting a beautiful Color Classic I running on Mac OS 7.1. I also got the floppy emu model C, and after adding a ribbon cable extender to the floppy drive ribbon cable so I could connect the Emu outside, I tried it out. I can actually open files onto the Color Classic fine, I’ve even opened up a couple of “Read Me” files. HOWEVER, about every seconds I will get an error message: “This disk is unreadable: Do you want to initialize it?” With the options “Eject” and “Initialize”. Clicking eject sends the message away but it pops up 10 seconds later. Clicking initialize brings up a second error message: “initialization failed! This disc is write protected” and then after I click “ok” the cycle starts over again in less than 10 seconds. I imagine if this error didn’t keep occurring I might be able to use the software id like and download some neat stuff. I’ve already read through the floppy emu troubleshooting guide, website, comments section, and email tech support too! Tech support referred me to here after giving some solid suggestions I also gave a go. Without any success unfortunately. I just got this really nice Emu C as a Christmas present and this is most likely my last chance to get this to work! Any help would be appreciate, and don’t make fun of me too much if I’ve done something stupid
