Hello,
Don't sell that drive just yet. If you are still reading these posts, follow my instructions: 1. first off. What is the main computer that you are using the drive with, Atari800/XL/XE?
2. Throw away that DOS 3 disk. The OS is garbage and it is not compatible with some of the other 'nice' DOS disks!
3. Find/beg/borrow/steal either a DOS 2.0 or a DOS 2.5 disk AND: A. Turn on the disk drive and wait until the drive light is out. Then insert the disk label-side up and close the drive door.
B. Check to make sure there are no cartridges inserted (of course, if this is an XL this is a no-brainer!) And turn on the computer.
C. If there are any error messages, document them and reply to my email. There are detailed explanations for every error code!
Hope this helps. -Mike "sixosix"
