Question mac drive

[chucksmith@my-dejanews.com]

I have a mac IIcx the floppy drive didn't work the head was shot.I took the
head out of an apple IIgs 800kb drive and put in the mac 1.44mb drive but it
didn't work I think the motor was shot in the mac drive. So I put the head
back in the apple drive and put the circuit board form the mac drive on the
apple also had to use the upper carriage part of the mac drive to line up
with all three switches apple drive only has two.It works but it won't format
1.44mb disk it will read and write them ok also read, writes and formats
800kb ok.My question is it because of the 800kb head that it won't format
1.44mb disk or something else.Also both drives are sony.

Thanks,
Chuck
