IPC? as in Sparc IPC? do you need a floppy for one? I may still be able
to get htem at $4.95 a pop here in seattle... but you probably won't need a
floppy in it....

Your guess about what happened sounds about right. I just got this IPC as
an "as-is" project and I'm not sure if the drive head was broken before it
was shipped, during shipping, or after I got it when I fought with the
drive a little to get a stuck disk out. At first I thought there was
something like a dead bumblebee stuck in the drive. Only after I
disassembled the machine enough to get the drive out and take a close look
did I realize that what I saw was the upper head broken off of the arm and
dangling by the coil wires.

Let me guess. The grease on the disk holder/eject mechanism turned to
glue and the upper head was ripped off when you ejected a disk. Seen it
happen all too often.
