[Coco] [Color Computer] color computer 2 and fd-501 floppy drive

[Josh Harper]

I had the same problem with a couple of my drives  it was just that the heads on the drive were dirty   you will need to take the top of the drive case off  and  use a lint free q tip  and clean the  head with  head cleaning fluid or Alcohol  let dry  and  drive should read again

I picked up a color computer 2 and fd-501 floppy drive at a garage sale . when i try to use the floppy drive  i keeps giving me IO error. I have cleaned everything with no luck.  The drive  spins for a minute then the error comes up .

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
