   Amiga floppy issues

   Hi all,   
      
   Trying my luck with an Amiga issue on this C= echo.   
      
   I'm having issues with formatting (nevermind writing to or reading from)   
   floppies on my 1200.   
      
   I've basically stiffed the internal drive. Now, trying to format a floppy in my   
   external drive...I get a consistent "Couldn't format Cylinder 0" error. The   
   floppies in question were very well cared for and previously working fine - and   
   it is happening across all of them.   
      
   I'm worried I have somehow fried the drive logic on the motherboard, as I was   
   previously having the same issue on the internal drive (leading to my ill-fated   
    repair attempts.)   
      
   Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated!
