Do I simply have bad luck, or is it true that these old internal floppy drives die easily -- likely when put into storage in a not-dry place?  Perhaps the mechanical components get a bit rusty or something like that?  Anyway, are there any good/cheap sources for replacement drives?  Thanks.


 I have had My A2000 for almost 16 years and the floppy still works fine. I would say they are very robust, however they will eventually need to be replaced. As said above good deals can be found on Ebay but also AmigaKit sells new drives that I think will work with older Amigas.  :-)
