I owned the 520st it was a brilliant computer for its time, i upgraded it to a 1040, the major flaw was the mouse port connection was a weak point had it repaired a few times, then started repairing it myself in the end, great find for the money. 😊😊
I see a 1A, maybe it's reading G4? EDIT: I looked it up, G stands for GET or "read" error... disk errors G3, G4, G5, head need cleaning or disk has bad sector or alignment on the drive.
AAAHHH! 😱🙀😩😫😓😞😣😖NEVER NEVER EVER turn off or on the disk drive with a disk in it! You probably destroyed the disk seeing you did this several times. That may be why it worked the first time. I guess you never worked with floppy disk drives before. 😫
@@puffpuffin1 I normally don’t do that but I find myself doing that sometimes when testing. I used these disks in another drive after and they were not damaged in any way. I actually do work with floppy drives often and have never killed a disk doing that. Although I usually use copies I don’t care about.
