I have what I thought was a perfectly working VIC20. I've never tried connecting a disk drive to it until today (always been happy with a cassette drive on it) but it doesn't work, all attempts to access the disk drive gives a device not present error. The drive still does spin up when the computer is power cycled so something must be coming out of the serial port but it isn't working properly.
I assumed this would be a dead 6522 so swapped them over and expected the keyboard to cut out.
Makes no difference - the machine still works fine with them swapped apart from being unable to access the drive. Any ideas on what else this could be?
The drive itself is known good, works on all my other Commodore machines with no problems.
