No, you need to give me proof that you are having the problems you say you
are, and then provide other information such as environment, disks being
used (manufacturer, type, etc.), and how the disks are being treated. You
also need to tell me if your drives are properly aligned and adjusted for
speed (use Copy ][+ for speed adjustment, alignment is trickier), and the
heads are clean.
Quick question, are you using high density diskettes?

indifferent.

Ha ha. That's pretty funny you saying that considering you're the guy
that can't get something as simple as a disk drive to work.

I may have experienced a fair share of what Mother Nature has to offer,
but at least I know how to work a computer.
