I tried TWISTER thinking how wonderful.

All was well until I tried to use the floppy.
This led me to find a speed checker.
It seems that my drive spins at 304 to 305 rpm and therefore has problems
with 10 sector formats.

I think that I used to be able to format with 10 sectors/track but I could
be mistaken.

How can I slow it down? If I can't slow it down, how much will Atari charge
me to replace it.
