I have an A1000 that, until this morning had a dead internal floppy,
a Matsushita/namiki. It would read the KS disk, but not the WB. After
fooling around with it awhile, to no avail, I noticed a small adjustment
screw on the bottom. Since nothing else had worked, I started adjusting
the screw. After 2 turns counter clockwise, it would no longer even read
the KS disk, so I started the other way. After 5 1/2 turns clockwise (from
the original position) it started to work again. OH BOY!!!
Anyway, I now have a working A1000 again. Still, it makes me nervous because
I don't have the faintest idea what I've done. Could some kind soul out there
enlighten me? Thanks.

I calculate a 93.46% chance that you adjusted the disk rotational rate. Usually, that is the part of a drive that goes out of alignment.
