>To Dave Dehart, Hi, I wish I could be of help concerning your floppy drive, but, am having some of my own troubles that sound similar to your probs. My floppy seems spastic too, sometimes is OK but often finicky and hard to get booted. I am beginning to think it may be errors along the way not from the floppy. These old machines run hot and mine starts thumping after half our. I installed a computer fan inside and helped a little, but know that I need electronic repair. Your floppy may be fine and trouble from errors along the circuit pathes...? good luck, zorax
