Hi, First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone who helped me get my mom's 701 back on it's feet. EZServe came through with shining colors for us. And although I have not contributed much to the list, I have really appreciated all the information about TP's that has been broadcast. I have been using the computer for about a month now to complete a project I am working on, and have just started to use the floppy a bit. It is a little eccentric it seems. When I plug it in, the computer doesn't recognize it always on the first go. I comes back with messages like "This disk is not formatted" or "Cannot read from drive A". If I move the drive around a bit (a gentle shake or a repositioning) it sometimes comes back to life, but not always. I'm curious whether anyone else has had a similar problem, and whether the cable or the drive are more likely to break down. I would send it back to EZServe, but it looks as though the previous owner has opened the floppy case or dropped it, as the case is cracked. Looking at prices for replacement drives, I'm hoping that the only problem is with the cable. Cheers, Grant Hilsenteger agh1@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca http://www.ualberta.ca/~agh1
