Not answering 1570 Floppy Disk Drive
Hello,
I am back since decades on real c64/128 Hardware.
Now I am chekcing out a very clean 128 computer with 1570 drives that do not want even load the "$" directory.
I tried to give the command Initialize typing:
Open 1,8,15,"Initialize" or something like that fully explained in the 1541 Manual bot the Floppy Drives seem to be mooving and flashing lights but at the end of the operation I still cannot load the directory or read files form the disk.
Any Hint?
Thanks a Lot!

I gave it a try, but from al 15 or so drives I tested, none was out of alignment so badly that it didn't work.
Besides, you're not done testing: what is the error when you try to format?
Untill now you only tried initialising, which is not the same as formatting. |

The 1570 is electrically 99% similar to the 1571, only the second side is missing..
Try it with the mechanism from a working 1541 to rule out alignment problems? |

Jope, we're not even sure if it's the drive that is broken or the floppies he's using. |
