Hello SideWinder..

I don't think so. I have 2 HD floppies in my A3k and
I've never done anything special.

Only thing is on OS 3.1 it will only reconize 1 drive
as an HD (1.76) the other defalts to DD (880).
On OS 3.9 both are reconized as HD (1.76).

A bad drive, maybe ??

Hmmm... actually this sounds more like an alignment
problem.
I had an A1000 that steadly got worse over time until
it wouldn't read a disk at all. I also have an A1200
with that problem. There should be software on Aminet
to re-align the read head.
I don't know the name of it, someone here should be able
to supply the name.
Its worth a try.
