I have been having problems with my drives.  My 1571 will not format
correctly.  When I try to format a disk it will format but when I try
to read the directory it comes up with about 6 lines which look like
some copy protected directory and I cant read or write to the disk.
This doesnt sound like alignement because I can still read and write
to my old disks but I cant format new ones.

The other problem is with my 1581.  Every once in a while it comes up
with a drive not ready error out of no where.  This is very annoying
when I'm downloading and it aborts because of this.  Could this be 
because I need new roms or something?

HELP!!! espically with the 71
