Hi. The P2 library is quite big. It takes up four pages at Winecountrysequential: http://www.winecountrysequential.com/page10.html

Hello!
After unmounting, cleaning and remounting the drive various times unsuccessfully I decided to buy a new drive at winecountry. It's not cheap but it fixed the problem. Now everything works.
I have 2 Prophets (1x Prophet 2002 256K with the new drive and 1x Prophet 2002 plus 512K with the original drive). If I format a floppy with the first, the second says iF (incorrect format?) when I try to save something on it. But if I save a disk in the first, the second can read it without problems. Then I noticed that there are some disks that are read with no problems with the new drive but not with the old one. And other disks behave the opposite! Mysteries...
A little OT question: did Sequential offer an own sample library? I only have 2 original Sequential disks (1986, for the 512K version: #875-01EX REV A and #875-02EX REV A, unfortunately they don't work!). Are these the only disks ever made by Sequential?
Thanks
Edo

If I i.e. choose to format a floppy I put into the drive, the drive gives a spin, the red light lights for 1 second or so and I get that "Lh" on the screen.
