Two Problems:
Problem 1: Diskettes from my 1541 cannot
be read by my friend's machines.
I have used the alignment-
checking routine that someone kindly
posted. My drive heads seem aligned
by that routine. I also checked the
drive speed. Here was an interesting
result. My machine operates at 283rpm
while my friend's machines operate
between 300 and 315 rmp. Is the speed
the problem?
Problem 2: If the rmp is the culprit,
I know how to change the rpm from a
previous posting, but how do I salvage
the old diskettes?
Programs are easy with the tape
drive. But will the other assembler,
sequential, and relative files be so
easy?
