      The internal drive in my A1000 failed.  The repairman at my computer
store says that the ssecond drive head failed and that it works fine as a
single sided drive - but that does not do me much good.  He called Commodore
and found that a replacement would cost $160.  This seems pretty steep.

      I seem to remember that within the last month or so, someone else posted
this same problem, and at least one suggestion about a non-Commodore
replacement for a much lower price was posted.  If anyone has any advice or a
copy of the original posted solution, would he please e-mail the information
to me:
        (bitnet or arpanet)   arxt@sphinx.uchicago.edu

     Thanks in advance.

(Those more clever than me can probably figure out from the message how to
send me e-mail on UUCP.)
