Hello.
I have a sizeable collection of older (undumped) software on 5.25in disks, and recently I have acquired a 5.25in 1.2MB FDD that was marked as "working" by the seller to dump the floppies.
However, no matter what DIP switch configuration I try, plugging it into a known working 486 tower and configuring it as a 5.25in 1.2MB drive in the BIOS results in a "not ready" error by DOS 6.22 whenever trying to access a floppy.
I have tried multiple floppies, including an original Microsoft C 5.1 disk (MS disks tend to usually read for me) but nothing works.
May it be a result of faulty floppies or a broken drive, and if yes, how do I repair the FDD?
Thanks in advance.
