[net.micro.cbm] Those disk alignment blues

Woa is me...

I have one of the early 1541 drives that is out of alignment.
What is strange about this problem is that it can read track 1 ok
but by the time it gets to track 35 it is just enough out of wack
to not want to read 35. I think it has something to do with the
protection of the disk, but I sure would like to be able to load
the disk.

One more thing, if I put a little back presure on the head (to force 
it to step a half track) I can get it to read track 35.

This is a lousy way to load a game.

What next ????
