Hi amiga 1260

clean it again and if it isn't enought, open it and try to clean the head, with isoprophil alcool and if you can, put a drop of silicon or ceramic (hard to find, expensive but the best) grease to the viewable gears.

To recalibrate a floppy deive, it is a hard job.

By the way . . .are you useing HD floppy disk?

Ciao

-edit-you can find the ceramic grease, in the "modellismo" (in italian) shop.

  "modeling kits shops" . . .right?

There are a lot ot FloppyDrive utilities, like:

TrackDiskSync.lha

I'm testing it myself :-) and an utility to use correctly, a CleaningDisk with GUI.
