Replaced the floppy belt as it had decayed and fell apart, now when I try and read a disk, the drive spins but the message "No Disk In Drive" shows on the screen.
Have tried the i4S disks in my i3 and they load fine..? _________________ Own original i3 and i4S! |

Did you get anywhere with this? I have same issue with an iX300.

Wow what a long time since I posted this!
In the end I bought a 24 pin (ribbon cable) to IDE data/power converter:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304806695420
Its designed to work with the SY85, however is uses the SAME drive as the i4S, and allows a standard 3.5" floppy drive to be used straight from a PC as those ribbon powered floppies no longer exist.
Saved my bacon, works really well bit of a major faff taking this Japanese monster apart but nothing technical or risky!
Can't see any reason why the iX300 should not work with the adapter if its a ribbon cable only floppy drive _________________ Own original i3 and i4S! |

Thanks I appreciate that. I’ll go have a look for an adapter. Looks like it would allow me to fit a floppy emulator too. _________________ Korg SP250, Roland RD150, Novation K-Station, Novation Bass-Station, Akai Miniak, Akai MPK Mini, Kawai K1, Roland Pro E, Yamaha DD65, Gibson Les Paul Standard, Gibson J15, Line 6 JTV59, Esp EC-256, Columbus Les Paul, Yamaha Bass, Eko Ranger 6, Stagg mandolin.
