I'm starting to have some problems with my single floppy drive on
my  1 year old Amiga 2000.  I've got my amy sitting on it's side.
A few days ago, the drive starting giving  me  a  little  bit  of
trouble  ejecting disks.  When I press the eject button, the disk
comes out *VERY* weakly, not at all like the good quick spit  out
it was before.  Is the eject mechanism just a spring that I could
replace myself (since it is out of warranty) or  should  I  start
looking  for a new drive?  If I need a new drive, that would make
me very sad, since I was about to buy a second drive and  finally
get around the infernal compile, swap, swap, swap, swap ..... cy-
cle.
