I have been experiencing problems with my 1.44M floppy disk drive
(It reads and writes disks that have been formatted in my drive with no
problems, but if I try a disk that has been formatted in another drive,
I usually can't even read the directory!)  Does anyone have info as to
how to check the alignment, or any other suggestions as to what the
problem might be?

Many thanks in advance!
