I have been having intermittant floppy problems on my Amiga 1000 (Commodore
external drive, 2 Meg Starboard II) for a couple of years now.  The problems
occur on both drives.

On nearly full floppies with lots of small (ProWrite) files I get an
unbelievable number of corrupted files.  Diskdoctor usually ends up finding
"hard errors" on tracks near 40.  This happens on various media, including
Fuji and Sony DS/DD.

I just ran the Ami Alignment S/W on the machine and found no problems.

The A1000 has only had the case removed for 8520 replacement (it didn't help)!

Any advice/info would be appreciated.
