We've got several PClones around here, all about 3 years old.  The floppy
drives are rapidly degrading in performance.  That is, lots of MS-DOS
complaints about "Bad disk" and "Can't find sector" and all that...I adjusted
the data separator pots to specs from the clone manufacturer (Corona), but
this hasn't help.  So now I'm suspecting some adjustment on the drive itself.
I assume the drives have alignment and speed adjustments, right?  Does someone
know how to do this, or know where I can get order a reasonably inexpensive
manual to describe such adjustments?  Some of the drives are MPI copies of
the old original PC full-height Tandom TM100-2s, and some of the drives are
new 1/2-height Teacs...

Thanks for any info!
