[net.micro.atari16] Cleaning disk heads

rtb@ihlpf.UUCP (Todd) (05/29/86)

After owning an ST since last August, I have come to the conclusion
that it is time to clean the disk heads (my most-used drive is
becoming unreliable). Does anyone out there have any recommendations
on cleaning kits or techniques? When I owned my 5 1/4" drive computer
I used the Verbatim cleaning kit. I realized that it may be abrasive,
but it doesn't make any difference if I only clean the heads every 6
months anyway. I have an aversion to the cotton swab and alcohol
technique due to the fact due to the fact that I once caused a lot
of trouble with my pressure pad (in a 5 1/4" drive). I'm open
to any suggestions. If I find a good answer I'll post it to the net.
