Jan Beta | Recreating my Amiga 500 Setup Episode V: The Internal Disk Drive @JanBeta | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Here's another episode of the seemingly neverending story of recreating my original Amiga 500 setup from back in the day. This time, I try to fix the internal Chinon F 354 floppy disk drive that was still giving me issues. I go through some common faults just to be quite surprised in the end.
