- Hi all.  I am having problems with my (double sided) disk drive on 
- my Mega 2. Whenever a disk starts to get full (above 75%) it starts 
- to randomly trash files, making them unreadable.  Even though I 
- have an unreadable file on my disk I can save a new file to it that 
- the computer can then read later.  I am using the standard Atari 
- 720k format, but using other formats does the same thing.  Anyone 
- have any ideas?
 
Maybe the drive head is out of alignment.  Take it to an Atari dealer 
if you have one near you.
