[comp.sys.amiga] 3.5 Externals

stoic@oak.circa.ufl.edu (04/10/90)

I posted a message before, but I dont think I had the hang of posting on the
Net.... But here goes...

I have had a 3.5 external drive for about 6 months, bought without a receipt (I
know that's dumb, but I only paid 120$ for it) anyways there is no warranty. 
The problem is that the drive's autosensor seems to have broken, for when I
place in a disk, the drive thinks that it is not there.... If I boot up with a
disk on the drive, the icon is there, but when I remove a disk, the icon is not
removed from W-Bench... I cannot change disks! I have run Autotest on it, and
the drive reads and writes fine, but I have the problem above intermittently.
Sometimes I just leave the drive on, and it begins to click after about an hour
of just sitting there.... OH - there is no clicking normall ... I think that
has something to do with it!
Any experts out there mail me please or reply, I try to keep up on here!
thanks in advance...
