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.
