Hello,

I dusted off my old Quadra and noticed the floppy wasn't reading or formatting disks. After chasing that for a while trying to figure it out, I swapped out the drive for a known good one and it's doing the exact same thing. Has anyone ever had this happen and what can I look at?

Thanks!

Have you checked the cable?

Check in the link below, in the More Info section, there should be a subsection in the Working with Disk Images that might help.
