Commodore 8050 troubles

Post by scifi-man »

Hello,
I have a 8050 Commodore dual drive that is not working properly. One side formats a disc but will only save very small programs (1block). Any larger and the program gets an astericks beside it and can't be reloaded. The other side won't even format. Both sides seem to be communicating with the computer fine. I think it may be an alignment issue. Can anybody help? I would even buy another working drive if someone has one to spare.
thanks in advance. Merry Xmas

You can usually source alignment floppy's on Ebay or through your local Commodore Club.
