Hi,
I have an old Telefunken machine I'm trying to get running. It has a pair of 8" floppy drives and I have some original media.
When I power up the machine it selects the disk drive for a few seconds but doesn't get any further. Is far as I can find out, it only has 256 bytes of ROM and so doesn't have room for "Disk bad" type messages. So this leaves me with the problem that I don't know if the machine is dodgy or the disks has lost their mojo.
Is there anyone in the UK who would be willing to have a look a disk for me and image it or even copy it please. That way I can see the route I need to travel.
All the best and thanks,
Andy.
