I've recovered too the Altos floppy unit. I could un-tar the first floppy of
the Cobol set as I did some days ago.
But I continue with a problem when I do one MKFS. It's related with the
writing of something but the message is not exccesively explicit. I should
need to access the source code of MKFS of this version.

Well... at least I could recover the PC floppy unit. But it took some
time
and one diskette with clean liquid (not a
cleaning diskette... I needed
to
improvise).
I've always found it best to remove the floppy drive and clean the
head(s) with a cotton bud soaked in propan-2-ol. At the same time I clean
the optical sensors (index, track 0, and write-protect, as applicable),
since dirt there can cause all sorts of problems.
