Subject: How do I align a disk drive?
I recently got an old computer with a pair of full height 5.25" drives in
it. One of them is out of alignment because disks formatted in this drive
can't be read by the other (or any other 5.25" drive in the house), and
disks formatted by a good drive (of which I have several), can't be read
by the bad drive. For those that are interested, the drives are made by
Tandon, and use a split band actuator to move the heads.
If you read this in comp.peripherals, please E-mail to the address below,
since I don't get a feed of that group here on pallio.
Thanks in advance,
