Hi all, It's amazing how fast you can do things when you've got the right tools for the job :) Got my Mac Plus cracked open last night - that long TORX driver isn't called a MacCracker for nothing - and discovered the previous owner had managed to mash the metal cover of a floppy disk into the head mechanism etc; having freed that up and got it working mechanically again I discovered what had been rattling round the case - the bottom read/write head which has snapped off. So! Beyond repair since I haven't got another drive for spares.... Has any of you got one they'd be willing to sell? It's not the sort of thing I see lying around at markets and boot sales! cheers -- Adrian Graham MCSE/ASE/MCP C CAT Limited Gubbins: http://www.ccat.co.uk (work) <http://www.snakebiteandblack.co.uk> (home) <http://www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk> (80's computer collection) "Missing you already" - Mark Radcliffe
