We received 6 1040ST's here at Aurora and At least two of them developed
problems with the internal floppy disk drive. After a while the disk has
trouble accessing the disk and makes awful whining/grinding noises. I
solved this on one machine by changing the resonant frequency
of the head assembly which seemed to be oscillating something fierce.
So far I have done this by tacking a wad of masking tape on the head.
Obviously this is temporary. My question is: Has anyone experienced
and possibly solved this in some cute/easy way? I like the machine and
would rather not send it back for something seemingly easy to fix.
