I recently replaced one of my old single-sided diskette drives
on my old IBM-PC1 with a pair of Tandon 1/2 height drives.  They
are working well for the most part, but I have noticed that the
diskette is VERY hot when I remove it after it has been sitting
in the drive for any length of time.  In fact, if I leave the
diskette in the drive long enough, it will start to get read
errors due, I suspect, to the high temperature of the disk and
inside the drive.

Has anyone else encountered such a problem?  Any ideas on how
to alleviate this situation?

Thanks in advance,

Rick Brown
