While running Microsoft's Multiplan recently, my disk drive seemed to 
lock up and die.  Repeated attempts to load MP sometimes works; other
times not.  Is this the proverbial head alignment problem that has been
so rampant throughout the 1541 that I am experiencing, or it it something
new and frightening?  Anyway of checking out if my head is out-of-whack.
I have run the "test" program that comes on the 1541 Demo Disk and all
seems to be well -- there has to be some other way of checking.
Other disks load fine, just the MP one dies.  Will Microsoft supply a
new disk without paying the $10 (required for backup versions).
	Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this problem?
