The other thing to watch out for (glad this didn't happen to yoU!) is
NOT to mess with the sloppy floppy drive.  It is extremely fragile--the
upper head WILL break if you look at it funny.  This is a big design
problem with the Sony drive.

Don't take it out of the metal case, either--you'll hit the head and
mess it up.

If you do, well, I can get 'em fixed--watch out for the places in the
back of MacWeek; most of 'em can't really fix dead heads (followup to
net.gdead :-) though all claim to.  There's an artificial embargo on
them.
