Today I discovered that the fault on drive 0 of my

box is due to a cracked collet -- the 8-fingered black plastic part,
with a ball race in the centre, that holds the floppy disk onto the
hub.
I have some spare 8" disk drives here, if that'll help at all. Or if
anyone else wants 'em? One's a Shugart SA-801, the others I can't
remember (but I can look them up).
