For all you Amiga 1000 owners...and others...


A friend of mine is having problems with his disk drives.

He has an Amiga 1000 and was doing some computing when

all the sudden both his internal and external drives

started giving read/write errors.  He did a warm boot

from RAD: to see if this would solve the problem and

nothing doing.  So, as a result he turned the computer off

and back on.  When asked to insert Kickstart he did so...

but all he got was a drive access (like it recognized that

he put a disk in) but no bootup.  He did this with all

his Kickstart versions and received the same result.

He thinks that maybe one or both of his Disk Controller

chips have gone berserk.  Any ideas??
