8-bit acorn hardware • Floppy Drive not working on BBC B

HI,

I'm trying to get a Floppy Drive to work on my BBC B.

My Beeb has Watford DFS 1.30 and a MMFS sd card.

I've put the DFS ROM in the right hand side and the MMFS rom to the left of it, as I understand it the DFS rom should have priority See Picture.

When I first switch on the Beeb it displays Watford Electronics DFS 1.30 as can be seen in the picture.

When I try a game disk that needs Shift + Break to run the screen just repeatedly displays Channel?

Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about using Floppy Drives so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.
