- I've got two floppy drives on my Amiga 500 that are causing problems. They
- occasionally cause a "Key 880 Checksum Error", rendering the disk unusable,
- and they also sometimes cause Read/Write errors. I'm suspectin misaligned
- drive heads. Can anyone confirm this or offer an alternate explanation. If it is
- misaligned heads, does anyone know how to repair them?
-
- Many thanks in advance,
