I have about 27 apple floppy drives as well as other floppy based machines and
am wondering about their long term storage. is it better to close the drive's
latch or leave it unlatched? i would think that having the drive latched/door
closed would keep the drive from possibly getting misaligned if it got moved
or bumped around but on the other hand, having the drive closed for long
periods of time could possibly deform the head load pad. comments?
