First I would like to point out that I have the same issue with my original Radio Shack Floppy and this Teac drive. I can get the drives to go through the format steps (34) but it comes out with an I/O error when verifying. I can run a DIR command and I get a blank disc no I/O error. I wrote a simple basic program (5 lines and a print statement) which I can save eight times before getting an I/O error. The DIR shows the 7 previously saved examples and they load and run. Thinking it might be an IBM disc with higher density and more tracks I tried to completely erase it with a permanent magnet. This then shows an unformatted disc and I repeat the process to format the disc with the same outcome as before. So can anyone direct me to what the solution might be? So to clarify I cannot get a complete disc format or save a program more than a couple tracks in, on either the TEAC or Radio Shack drive without getting an I/O error.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
