I'll try. Sound's to me like one or both of the diskette drives is out
of alignment. My guess would be the Mac that was found in storage. It is
(I believe) possible for a drive out of alignment to read, but not write 
diskettes from other drives. Talk to a service type person.

There should be not problem with transporting diskettes from working
400K drives to working 800K drives.
