Got'er fixed. Funny enough, the drive (Drive 2 all it's life) that
initially worked had a speed rated by APTEST of 40. It's head
alignment (checked against zork, apple diskware, and copy ][ plus) was
great. Drive 1 had perfect speed, but it's alignment was trashed.

Both work. Anyone know when these drives were made? (#582 & #982)
