Re: Floppydrive problems

2008-11-13 by Peter Kersten

I agree Tim, I already found a site about alignment a while ago,
during my search for a new storagesolution.

http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html

I don't have an alignment disk.

I'm, located in the Netherlands.

Thanks for your reply Tim :-)

I wonder if it could be a bad bearing....

Cheers, 

Peter.
