Probing the FDC read and write pins showed that the chip was working, so I went back to experimenting with the 2 drives. I noticed that I stated to get a slightly different error from one of the drives which made me focus more on the drives themselves. To cut a long story short one drive is broken, and the other needed a good clean and the worm gear greased and now it is working perfectly!
As for the other one, I am pretty sure I broke it a while back trying to clean it![:x]( "Mad")
and it will need a replacement head, if such a thing exists! I will keep my eyes peeled for a broken F63W drive on the auction sites.
All in all though the A310 is now working perfectly![:D]( "Very Happy")
