Greetins,
	A friend of mine has a Mac 512KE with a flaky internal disk drive.
The drive refuses to eject Sony diskettes.  Maxell - no problem, noname - no
problem, but Sony disks come out about 1/8'' and stick.  I would think that
this is a prelude to the drive refusing to eject any disks, except that this
has been going on since last May, and the machine is used fairly constantly.

Has anyone else experienced this?, any solutions?, Any recommended
preventative maintenance?

Much obliged,
Dave Fagan
