I'd still recommend Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk--it's got several good
functions--test RPM, Clean heads, check alignment, etc.

Runs on MS-DOS and, AFAIK, even on the 5150.

I'm actually a bit surprised that nobody's done a floppy exerciser for
the lowly Arduino.  Easy enough--if you use the timer "capture" feature
on the AVR, you can even do simple disk read testing.
