A few months ago I bought 2 external floppy drives for my 512kE, with the intension of putting the one in worst looking case in the 512kE as the eject motor went out on the original drive. The one I choose has a small problem where it tries to inject the disk before it is all the way in, but the heads and eject motor work fine. I lubed the drive with teflon lubricant from Lowes and I think it may have gotten on one of the heads as every disk I insert it tries to initialize, including the System Disk.
I read cleaning the heads with a Q-Tip dipped in rubbing alcohol will clean it, but I was wondering if that doesn't work if there is something else I should try.
