Will you offer to help buyers who encounter the pin34 Ready/
Disk_Changed signal problem? :)

I had some 3" tall Shugart 5.25" 720K drives, and they didn't read
disks nearly as well as my BASF 720K drives or any 1.2M drives could.
This wasn't noticeable with IBM PCs, but the aftermarket floppy
controller for my Radio Shack TRS-80 had a poor data recovery circuit
design and didn't like the Shugart.
