Message-ID: <8810100236.AA03813@jade.berkeley.edu> Date: 10 Oct 88 02:36:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: University of Louisville Lines: 31 [Line eater food ] Help!!! Hey folks here's the scoop... The other night I was using my A500 and it decided it was gonna trash the development disk I was using.. (NDOS) I fixed the disk but the machine kept saying that disks that were write protected were NOT DOS DISKs. I got frustrated and did the Amiga Salute only to have my A500 not recognize ANY of my workbench disks. Of course I was upset, so I took it to my local repair shop and they said that they didn't have the faintest idea what was wrong. Does anyone have any hints at what the problem could be?? The repair shop said that they've had 3 A500's come in with this problem and could never fix any of 'em. Please help, I've only had my A500 for 8 months and really don't have the money to buy another. PS I'm using a friends account (mine got trashed) but you can still send replies here, but I would prefer if you could use the one in my signature.
