Has anyone ever managed to succesfully put the hardware from a pc
floppy into a 1581 drive. My drive just died, actually it's just
morally ill, it will do a directory occasionally. I'm pretty sure that
the mechanism is the problem. Although I used to be an electronics
tech drives are so cheap I have never borhterd to try to fix them,
can't see so well any longer either. It would save me the fiddling if
somone had already put a standarf floppy mechanism in a 1581.
