My TPDD2 is acting up again. Every time Insert a disk and try to access it through TS-DOS, it tells me the disk is blank and unformatted. I'm afraid to try a cold start on my Model 200 because I've got some data in there I'll need to hold onto if the drive has gone dead one me. I tried cleaning the drive with a Radio Shack cleaner, but that had no effect. Is there anything I can do to determine for sure if the drive is messed up, or where the problem is for sureI did try to format a disk that I know is blank, and when it got to the end, I got a communicati on error code on the screen. Also, whenever I try to get the drive to read a disk, it changes the telcom parameters from whatever I've set them to 98nn1n, or something like that. Any suggestions, or am I hopelessly lost?
