floppy drive alignment procedure

Warning:  what I'm going to tell you could be wrong... but here goes anyway...

Since misalignment is when the heads are not in line with each other, you should in theory be able to format a disk and read it back on a misaligned drive.  Such a disk won't work in other drives, but you should be able to read and write files to it on the same drive.

Maybe you can give it a quick try? Others could correct me if I'm wrong...

This is how I remember it as well. Of course, I'd prefer to read disks written on other drives.  

LOL! Of course!  But being a technician myself, I usually do the troubleshooting before actually dismantling stuff.  I don't imagine alignment to be an easy thing to get right.

Cheers!
