Any alignment
must be totally lost by now. But if I do get it
working I
can format a disk on it and see if that works. Reading and writing
files
might be more of a problem, I can't remember if there is any way to
create directories and files in the bare OS, or if one needs
programs
from another disk, in which case I would be out of luck if it is so
badly misaligned that it can't read other disks.
Could you connect it up as a second drive? I seem to rememebr there's
a
socket for that on the ST (a strange 14 pin DIN socket?). Or test it
on
some other machine that uses a standard-ish floppy drive?
