- Howdy!
- I have an old SE (the kind with the extra noisy fan) and
- i'm starting to have some trouble with it. The two internal
- floppy drives are old and don't sound so happy. When I put in
- a disk, they just sort of 'whine'. They still work (about 90% of
- the time) but are full of dust and sound like they need to be
- oiled. (Does one 'oil' a drive?) What I want to know is how to
- go about 'tuning them up' so that I can once again hear that
- snappy 'chomp' sound that they used to make when I would put in a
- disk. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? What tools
- would i need? Is there a do-it-yerself book that covers this sort
- of thing?
- Secondly, I'd like to put in some more memory. Where's
- a good place to get 1M SIMMS for the SE? Mailorder, that is.
-
- Thanx.
