Sounds like you have a disk speed problem.  There's a potentiometer on
the disk II (you have to open up the case to get to it) that adjusts
the speed at which the drive runs.

My suggestion would be to hook the misbehaving floppy drives to a
controller in slot 5 in a working system, and get a program like
CopyII+ or locksmith to check your drive speed.  So you need to have
at least one working drive on the same system as the faulty ones, so
you can boot up the software.
