Re: Floppy drive wont work..

Hi again Dai,

Usually when the floppy activity lite stays on the cable is reversed. The red stripe is usually toward the power connector but a very small percentage are the other way. It will damage any disk you insert when the cable is backwards but no damage is done to the drive. Reverse the cable and if the lite then goes out, try a known good disk and/or format another disk.

Good Luck, Jim
