For all of you Amiga 1000 owners...

A friend of mine has an Amiga 1000 and something strange has

happened.  Neither the external nor internal drive will

read a disk. They were both working fine and all of the sudden,

during a computing session, both drives started giving read/

write errors.  A warm boot did not change things.  Turning the

computer off only resulted in not being able to boot up at

all...with ANY version of Kickstart.  The computer just acts as

though you inserted a disk other than Kickstart.  He thinks

maybe one or both of the controller chips have gone berserk.

Any ideas?????
