- Sam Groves in #60567 asked questions about "re-fixing" his 520's floppy drive:
-
- 1. You didn't say how much TOAD was going to charge you for replacing the
- bum drive mechanism. $100 plus freight sounds OK. Much more than that and
- I'd recommend you consider using your old 520 for a door stop and picking up
- a new or slightly used 1040STe for not much more money.
-
- 2. Atari service people (is there such a thing?) come in all flavors...
- some good and some bad. It's pot luck unless you can get a recommendation
- from someone who has personal experience in dealing with one.
-
- 3. I think most people on this net will echo that TOAD is a very reliable,
- upstanding organization who have been around for quite awhile. They have
- suffered through some growing pains but they are honest, capable and will
- treat you fairly. But only if you tell 'em FAIR-DINKUM sent ya. :)
