[net.micro.cpm] Siemens FDD100-8 problem

BEC.SHAPIN@USC-ECL.ARPA (08/30/84)

From:  Ted Shapin <BEC.SHAPIN@USC-ECL.ARPA>

One of my 8" drives is a surplus SIEMENS and gives me
trouble intermittently.  After I use it for a while,
it acts as though it cannot find the correct track and
seeks forever between track 1 and the track it is looking for.

I seem to remember seeing an old message that this was a common
occurence with these drives.

Does anyone know what to do to fix it?

Ted.
