Well, I've just had a very satisfying morning. I opened up my 512K Mac (see earlier thread) and took out the 400K disk drive. It was reading ok, but not ejecting - a very common problem with these old drives as the grease dries up and glues the eject levers. I cleaned it all out and got it working. Very good already, but the real bonus was next. I had a faulty 400K external that I'd failed to repair before, but now by having a working one to compare with, I was able to determine exactly the problem and rectify it! It too is now working perfectly! All that's left to do (this is this afternoon's task) is to put all the best bits into my 128K mac so it once again has a 400K drive, has a working external, I'll use the 512K monitor because the 128K one has a scratch, and everything will be perfect and as for the original mac!
