Hi all,
I've got a Tandon TM100-2 in my IBM XT, that works mechanically fine (spindle spins, head moves at startup, LED flashes, no 601 error), but it won't ever read any disks I attempt to insert. I've tried an official PC DOS 3.3 floppy (which works fine in my AT), as well as an unofficial DOS 6.22 disk, which also did not read.
I've cleaned the heads, but I'm not too sure what else to try.. I'm hoping it's not an alignment issue but I'm afraid I'm not totally sure what the symptoms of that would be.
I'm trying to boot using my XT-CF-Lite, using it and telling it to boot from the floppy simply produces a "2h error."
without it, the computer simply boots to BASIC.
I'm completely stumped! Any advice helps!
