So I got my hands on a new old stock Teac FD-55BR, as far as I know it has not been used since manufacture.
I have a number of old 360kb floppies with some old documents, and some old games to test with, all get the same error.
I can switch to the drive as B and it will show the files on the floppy using dir without any issue.
However if I try an access anything, or copy data on or off the floppy I get an error (Retry, Fail, Abort) from the DOS prompt, and if I try and start a game, the game starts, but then comes up with a data error screen.
Does anyone know what could cause this, could the drive need maintenance of some sort? It appears to be totally clean, it was in a sealed bag.
