I was just commenting that a lot of Apple drives have
been replaced when
IMHO it would have been easier and cheaper to fix the old unit...
Given the (old) price of $169 for a Apple 1.44 floppy drive that isn't too
hard to believe. Even now a good quality refurbed drive (ie really cleaned
and relubed) is about $20 from cheap sources and more than double at many
places.
Many notebook floppy's are still quite outrageously priced, around $150 for
replacements.
