  This message is to clarify some of the points I made in a previous
message regarding my drive 'going out of alignment' after accessing
it with no diskette in it.
   First, the problem started when I had the computer ACCESS the drive
with no diskette in it (I said 'have it do a SEEK', but I meant that was
what the drive was about to do).
   Secondly, I had the drive replaced three times. Each new drive was
fine up until either I had it try to access the drive with no disk in
it, or maybe (I'm not sure about this one) after using The MagicSac
emulator for a while (it would do alot or re-seeking when reading near
the center of the disk, which I understand is a common problem). I haven't
used the Magic Sac on my latest drive that just went bad.
   Since I wrote the last message the drive has been giving more frequent
read errors. This usually has been the case. It will get to the point where
its next to impossible to use the computer (although closing/opening the
drive's window will allow some access to the disk, ie. by re-homing the head).
   The drive is still under warranty, but I just can't imagine taking the
computer back to be 'fixed' once again. I would like to find out what I am
doing wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
