Disklavier

Wow - my floppy drive came back to life! It formatted a blank disk for the first time, then i recorded a performance!

I cant tell you how many times i've tried this to no avail in the month i've had the DKL. I cleaned the drive, fiddles with the cable in the back, nothing. The only thing I can think of is that tonight I pushed the disk in pretty hard, like the concept of smacking something that doesn't work. Is it possible there was a loose connection, or heads that were jammed back into some type of alignment?

I'm flabbergasted! Whether it continues to work remains to be seen. Is it likely for heads to be gone, then return to life? Has anyone had this type of behaviour with floppy?
