I have a MicroTech ReformaTTer unit with two 8"
NEC floppies attached to a
PC with the MicroTech FDC. Both drives seemed to be in need of a tune-up
(head alignment, in particular) when I installed the unit, and now (this is
four yrs. later) I can only read diskettes with one drive, the other just
gives me "sector not found" errors.
Is it practical for me (me = board swapper) to try to align the heads on
these drives manually by trial and error? Is there still a source for the
disk required to do it the right way? I have access to a scope if I need one.
