Hello, I've been playing with my Atari 800 a bit, and the frustrating thing is I can't get the disk drive to work. When the drive is on and with a disk in it (is spins itself up alright) and turn on the computer, it doesn't try to read the disk (my last Atari, and 800XL I think.. did). In BASIC, any disk command (XIO, open, load, save, etc) give me an error that I looked up and means something to the effect of 'drive not present'. I've tried several utilities (myutil) on my PC to write the disks with mydos or ataridos, but I don't know if they're working as I can't write or read any disks. Any ideas, please?
