I really like my Quadra 650.  Probably my favorite 68k.....

I get into this hobby intermittently. The biggest issue that makes me want to just put it all on eBay is these damned floppy drives.  They all just stop reading or writing. I've had half a dozen fail after only limited use and even after cleaning don't seem to want to cooperate.  

What can go wrong?

hello, quick question I have an Apple IIe and when I use the "init" command to try to initialize a disk, I get a syntax error. Is there a good reference for commands on the Apple 2 out there? thanks
