Ah, yes at that time drives were pretty expensive at least by today's standards. I think they went for about $40 or $50, but don't quote me it has been a while. I actually did swap it out with a friend so that wasn't it. I've never seen that problem appear sense I must admitt, but there was the time a floppy was giving my buddy's box a tough time and I just ripped the cover off it and it ran for years.<grin> Was one of those things again where it just didn't make sense, but hell it worked just fine.
