How-to: Fix floppy drives that don't eject or accept disks

[Dennis Nedry]

I stumbled upon some old pictures and thought I should add them to the wiki. This is a VERY common problem with auto-inject drives. Follow these steps and your drive(s) will snap the disk right out of you hand, just like brand-new!

Thanks for posting this ...I have a Quadra 900 and a Se/30 that both benefitted from this. These were excellent very easy to follow directions that restored my intermittent drives to full functionality in just an hour or so (they were very dirty drives).
