Hello,
I've been using PC/XT with two 5,25" 360K FDDs. I have encountered weird failure of one of drives. It is able to list contenst of a floppy ( dir /w) but it's unable to read any file from the floppy. LED goes on, but it doesnt move heads assembly and after a short period of time I'm getting ' Data error while reading drive B:'. What it more it was working fine for about a week. Have tested that floppy in second drive and it's working fine.
I'm using stock IBM FDD controller.
Any idea what can be the case?
Have cleaned heads and slot connector.
