The speed adjustment appears to have very little effect - would I notice any
variation without test equipment? I've tried several disks, so either they
have been stored in a loudspeaker (possible), or I can (hopefully) eliminate
them.

Cleaned the heads. Well, put cleaner on a Q-tip and gently swapped. No sign
of any dirt :/

Richard (cleaning the contacts and 'fiddling' resulting in instead of a
crash to Monitor, getting an IO ERROR or just ERR a couple of times, but no
consistency).
