The Amiga from Escom has a soldered cable from the bottom and often additional "prostheses" placed on the circuits.

The most likely thing is to take the float out of the screen and see it from below.

My escom had a normal CD like the rest of revision 2B

I have a port on a ribbon exactly like in the picture.
There are no wires underneath.

In the Amiga Test Kit you can test if the RDY signal is working on your CD (it is needed in some games).

Have you tried to rip broken floppy disks to ADF and test on emulator? Can you share them? I would call at home on a bare A1200 1D4 also from Escom.

My next problem was brought up in good time.
Amiga communication with the outside world :)

But all in order.
I put on the Wicherka and Lotus started up.
SWOS and WB still have problems (I think) with floppy disks.

WB shows 2 + 8MB, so I miss something 3MB on the right.
Maybe it is the fault of the drivers that I did not upload because I have no way to get into the Amiga.
Wicherek has an SD slot but no device in WB shows up after inserting the card.
I assume that I have to upload something to the Amiga.

It's time to embrace the second topic.
The fastest path is PC0, but I don't see a device like this: D

Thanks for the tip, Amiga Test Kit found no problems.
The memory test lasted a lot of minutes, I wasn't sure if he was testing over and over to see if he was going to quit, so I stopped after about 10-15 minutes.
Other components approx.

I got a CF on PCMCIA so I can transfer files from PC .... ufff.

But I still have a problem with this SWOS.
The one I have on the floppy disks does not work with the second floppy disk, so I took some ADFs and recorded two SWOS floppy disks on other media.
He took off, although I think he was struggling with the second one, but I chose the game menu.
Here's the problem again.
I chose Friendly -> National -> Europe and here the disk drive turned out ... tires the floppy disk in a circle.

I do not have ADF, I do not have SWOS floppy disks, but I recorded new ADF floppy disks neither with SWOS Unites - SWOS 2020 and I also have a problem with the second floppy disk (details in the previous comment).
