Has anyone had any (bad) experience with their drive going out of alignment?
In copying some disks (including HACK), there are two people with whom I
trade disks that seem to have problem reading disks written on my machine.
I would like to nip this problem in the bud (if indeed it is my drive) and
possible have some sort of alignment test program.  What I am looking for in
specific are two things
    1) An alignment/confidence test program for the drive.  This would require
       a disk written on a known good drive that did good verification.
       I know that there were a lot of rip-off products on the 64 that claimed
       to do this, but have never seen one I considered worth 2 cents.
    2) A RELIABLE place to get quick and correct alignments done.  I have no
       faith in the local dealer (nothing personal) for doing hardware repair.

Please EMAIL responses and I will post a summary to the net if the response
merits it.
