1040ST Floppy Read Problem

We have a micro lab with 25 1040 ST's; the floppy drives have been
replaced on some of these machines; the drives are from various
manufacturers, but they are "Atari" drives.

When 25 newly formatted and copied Sony disks (using Dcopy19) were
created they were only readable on about half the machines.  A disk
might be readable on one machine and not readable on another.  When
the failure to read occurred, the GetInfo response was "0 bytes
allocated and 0 bytes available".

Help.
