ScuzzBlog: Diaries October 2019 Entry 3rd October 2019: Post 02: Amiga 600HD - Day 3. Amiga 600HD - Day 3. Having received a very helpful response on Amiga Org regarding the missing pin to the IDE connector I discovered that Pin 34 did nothing so I could move on. Today I found an old busted A600 with a partially working LED and a shorter ribbon for the floppy drive. The floppy itself wasn't working albeit it clicked to a steady beat. Opening up the drive I discovered the problem which was the top read head had sheared off. The upper plate had not been seated properly and so when the disk was inserted it smashed into the head. Has always been broken. Sadly that is the way of things sometimes. This came out of a 600 in a very poor state when it got here. I finished up replacing most of the insides and the surplus went in the graveyard. And so I now have installed the correct ribbon and an LED light that at least shows the computer is on. The drive is usable from the cold but not a reset. On a replacement I will just keep looking. Just as I finished today I got a tap on the door from postie and there was my new sealed 2.5" drive all the way from China. And so tomorrow I will attempt to install the OS onto the 600HD and reinstate its inner drive. Wish me luck. Amiga 600HD - Day 3.
