[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] CA-880 drive

I need some help here.  I have a CA-880 external disk drive as DF1:.  It works fine for most programs, except for the following.  The CA-880 will not work correctly with:

The Killing Game Show.  It ask to insert disk two into any drive, but it searchsforever and never finishes accessing the disk.  Work fine with my friends Amiga
1010 disk drive, though.

Dos2Dos.  When I use DF1:, the program is unable to read IBM diskettes like it is supposed to.  Works fine on a friends A1010 disk drive.

Synchro Express.  Jells out on this one also.  The program just hangs.  Works okon the A1010, though.

RawCopy 1.3g.  The program locks up when doing a Nibble B, 82 track mode copy.
Works fine on A1010 disk drive.

Also the computer wont recognize the CA-880 when it is connected to the A1010, but if the A1010 is connected to the CA-880, then the computer mounts in correctly.

I don't know what's going on here.  Is it just my disk drive or has anybody elseout there been experiencing the same problems ?  Would appreciate the help.

Thank...........Don B.    (donb@megatek.uucp)
