[comp.sys.mac] Diskette drive alignment question, any 400K drives forsale?

gregg@unix386.Convergent.COM (Gregg Donley) (10/16/89)

I swapped a head stepping motor from one 400K disk drive into another and am now
having alignment problems.  I assumed that the optical sensor that detects
the head's home position would take care of this.  Apparently not.  By rotating
the position of the motor body, I can get the disk to read any disk, in time,
but I am having a difficult time getting it to read all my disks and initialize
new ones all at the same time.  Does anyone out there know the correct
procedure for making this adjustment?  If not, how about a cheap drive? Anyone
have one of those for sale?  Whether I fix this one or not, I am also in need of
an internal diskette drive mounting bracket (the metal box piece).  Thanks in
advance for any advice or leads.  Reply to address below.  Thanx.
