    Hello, I purchased a C64R MK2, almost everything works. Can't see 1541, 1541 II and 1541U2 + floppy drives.

    Everything connected individually, does not see the drive at all:


    LOAD "$", 8

    SEARCHING FOR $

    FILE NOT FOUND


    Definitely set to 8

    Should I activate something else?

    Power supply purchased together with the C64R.

    (google translator)

    if you get FILE NOT FOUND, then the Computer sees the drive and the IEC Bus works! The problem is with the Disk and/or the Drive itself.


    Try the following:

    - connect exactly one Floppy drive

    - power on the drive, then the C64R

    - type in and run the following small BASIC program:


    10 open 1,8,15

    20 input a,b$,c,d

    30 print a;b$;c;d

    40 close 1


    That should print the drives powerup message (DOS version ).
