I've recently inherited a funky old IBM PC proper, with a hard drive
and a very questionable floppy drive.  The floppy drive seems to
read my disks okay, once I wriggle them into place, but I'm really
concerned that it's going to start eating my disks.

I recall hearing about a way to re-align floppy disk drives that
was reasonably painless, and I think that's the first thing I should
try.  Can anyone give me any information, or other suggestions on
handling a disk drive that seems slightly obstructed by something?

Thanks.
