I had an IBM 360k that I was using, no compliants. I started having
data problems moving stuff from a true 1.2M to the 360. Later, I put a
360 in the other computer and I still had problems. Finally, I figured
it out, the IBM was either out of alignment, or shot...

Could it just simply be the 360k drive?
