I've acquired a Amiga 1000 with monitor, mouse,

disk. My disk seems to be defective because the drive cycles and the
picture of the workbench disk comes back up. Does anyone out there have
a copy?
The symptoms you describe could also mean that your disk drive is
out of alignment. Early Amiga OSes were floppy-bound and did a lot
of gronking, which wore out a lot of drives.
