It clicks but it doesn't recognize a disk when you put it in. I hooked up an external Amiga 1000 drive to use as DF2 but it has the same problem. This looks to be a hardware problem of some kind --- anyone had it before? Even the format command won't work --- it tries to start up but then quits with a `disk changed' message.
