FWIW, THe IBM microdrive works fine in the Ti I have. I have had mine in this T1667 since 10.1.2 to 10.2.5 and always works fine as suggested by George. Just a thought, -try and FORMAT it under WINDOWS/XX first - who knows.. maybe some issue there. - reboot the TI with the microdrive inserted - then access from VPC and format - see if the microdrive is present from the APPLE SYSTEM PROFILER I formatted mine initially in an IBM TP then just used it in the TI when I discarded the IBMTP. I have also formatted it under OSX and no issues.
