[I miss my line eater]
My friend (who doesn't have net access) had a disk get stuck in his internal
(800k) drive. Being semi-mechanically inclined (he has successfully install a
dove upgrade on this system) he opened up his mac to check if it was just a
stuck label, etc. Well he got the disk out but now he claims that
the "head" has fallen off his drive -- He would like to know if there is anyone
who specializes in floppy drive repair, everywhere he has checked seems to want
from $175-200 to just replace the drive, not repair.
This was a result of his son imitating the vcr commercial and "forcing" the
disk in -- at least there was no oatmeal.
BTW will any 3rd party external drive (now around $130) fit internally if
disassembled?
Please don't flame -- snide comments may be accepted but I have not seen the
unit in question and am posting as a favor. I also have to handle the replys
and don't want to singe my poor terminal.
TTFN
