Looking to test/service/align a number (10 or so) of
double-sided
double-density 3.25 floppy drives and hoping there is someone here in
Canada who has the alignment discs that I could borrow/buy.
These are for setting up some of my older computerized microprocessor
test gear (Fluke mostly)...
Suggestions on aligning are also greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

3.25" alignment disks are EXTREMELY rare.
MUCH, MUCH, MUCH harder to get than 3.5"
When I acquired MicroPro's (Wordstar) 3.25" disks and drives,
I was pleasantly surprised to find that it included some
3.25" alignment disks. UNFORTUNATELY, I was then horrified
to find out that some (prob'ly all) of those alignment disks
had been FORMATted and used for data!
