	Bummer!  After I made this post, I realized that I has a spare Mac 
LC-II w/ a 1.44M HDFD.  But, since you guys say it won't work....  I was 
going to ship the unit to Stephen so he could experiment on it.  But you 
guys already have done the same experiments.
	When I get a chance, I'll check ebay for a Mac 800K mechanism.  
Maybe I'll fix the drive myself.  Sorry Stephen.
