TICKET ARCHIVE -> floppy drive inop

No Wonder User - Sep 18, 1998 - 12:27 pm

Knowledge Level: Intermediate

Problem: Combination
Computer Type: appple
Model: 6500/250
RAM: 32meg
RAM Enhancer: Virtual Memory
OS Version: MacOS 8

Description:
When I insert a floppy it says it is unreadable and do I want to intialize it? Then it fails and says the floopy is damaged. the floppy is fine. My initial reserch at Mac product support is a bad drive.

However, I've recently been messing with my extensions to reclaim memory and wonder if I could have messed something up. I went to OS 8.0 choice for extensions in the extension manager and it still didn't work. Have I done everything I can? I'm still under warranty but the closest place is and hour and a half away.

Send Attachments? Yes

Hi Jan and welcome to No Wonder!

Are you using RAM Doubler?

Have you tried booting with extensions off?

If there is no change...it looks like it is a hardware problem - you'll have to take it an Apple dealer to get it fixed.


Cheers
