I just dusted off my old C128 with 2 of 1571 Disk Drives after being in storage for over 25 years. The problem is the same with both drives. When trying to get a directory LOAD"$",8 the C128 says "FILE NOT FOUND" followed by a flashing green LED on 1571 drive. Please refer to the video.
Initializing the drive does the same with OPEN 15,8,15,"I":CLOSE 15. The head moves back and the forth and then stops with a flashing green LED.
I am using a new seriaI cable I bought via ebay. I've cleaned the heads with alcohol. Just wondering if there would be any suggestions on getting these drives working again?
