the infamous grooved disk? is there anything wrong with that design? looks
fairly clever and reliable. i havent seen any wear problems with the 20+ apple
disk drives i have. the only minor issue is adjusting the head stop for which
all you have to do is sight a little dot on the grooved disk (apple calls it a
cam) with the little metal cam follower and make adjustments as needed.
