Any particualr reason why the belt i na 3" drive would be more likely
to fail than that in a 5.25" or 8" drive (both of which were commonly
belt-driven)?
I don't know enough about the composition of the belt. But I've got
plenty of 8" drives with their original belts running just fine, but
I haven't seen a single 3" drive from a Joyce that didn't have a
failed belt somewhere in its history.
