This made me remember that I have a perhaps similar
problem with one
of my Kaypro drives. It works at first, but eventually wears away
portions of the disk making the disk unusable. (After a few uses, if
you hold the disk up to the light there are arcs that are clear.) I
assume this is a head alignment issue. If so, is there an easy way to
realign the heads (perhaps dropping the unit a la Apple III), or should
I just look for another floppy drive?
I would be more inclined to suspect magnetic media build up on the heads
that needs to be cleaned off.
