I am happy to hear that. That Osborne was evidently "very low mileage". And,
while I don't remember
exactly, I may have aligned the drives on that machine, or swapped drives with another to
get a pair of
dirves that worked together. For some reason, drives that won't work correctly in one
Osborne sometimes
will in a different machine, even though this would appear to not make sense.
