Hey I remember this...
Any disk drive without a track 0 sensor (Apple
][, Commodore, etc). The
heads bang themselves out of alignment with time.
OPEN 15,8,15,"I0:NEWDISK,ND"
True for 1541s, but not 1571s. 1571s do have a track 0 sensor. And a v3.1
1571 is the best 5.25" drive out there, I submit -- with appropriate software,
a 1571 can read most MFM formats, plus Commodore GCR, and runs very fast
when connected to a 128 in 128 mode.
