- I have a NeXTdimension with both floppy and OD, but I would like to learn how
- to maintain the ODD to prevent it from going bad. I've heard about the
- occassional ODD going bad, so I don't want to neglect mine and end up in the
- same situation. I think I remember that Spherical Solutions or perhaps some
- other company was offering refurbished drives at decent prices. Actually, I'd
- like to learn how to "refurbish" mine own drive, or at how to maintain it in
- top working order.
-
- Maintenance tips for the floppy would be appreciated as well, although I've
- never been much of a fan of inserting abrasive "automatic" cleaners into a
- floppy drive to accelerate head wear...
-
- Thanks.
