SWAP OFFERED: TRADE BAD DISK II DRIVES FOR ENHANCED WORKING 2-for-1 TRADE


I'm the "Disk II Guru"

As long as the drives you have are in "as-failed" condition (not yet
tinkered),  I will _swap_ you 2-for-1 working perfectly tuned Disk II
drives with my two Bugg-Drive enhancements, as described in II ALIVE
magazine (summer/fall 1996):

(a) front-panel three-way write-protect switch
and
(b) front-panel speed adjustment knob

Track-center alignment will be perfectly tuned on the units I will ship.
